Petrol and diesel shortages are "an issue" and some filling stations are "drying up", according to a fuel price pressure group. Howard Cox, founder of FairFuelUK, said a third of its supporters who responded to a survey last weekend said they have encountered a "problem" finding fuel.
The shortages have been attributed to disruption by Just Stop Oil protesters at oil depots. Mr Cox told the PA news agency: "Some garages are now really drying up.
"It's very patchy, it's sporadic but it's still an issue, particularly in the South. Most of the protests are happening below the Midlands and in the Home Counties, and that's where we're seeing some of the problems.
