When was the last fuel shortage in the UK and what happened?
As the impact of panic buying at petrol stations and a lack of HGV drivers sees the UK Government prepare to call in the army to cope with demand, here’s when the last major UK fuel crisis occurred
The UK Government has continued to stress that there is no fuel shortage as Brits rush to petrol stations to fill up on fuel.
More than half of the UK’s petrol stations have now run out of fuel, according to reports, while as much as 90% are running low on petrol - despite many introducing £30 caps on fuel or closing to prevent drainage from panic buying.
