It *is* difficult to get fuel in some places, because people are buying it all up. When someone who needs to drive for their commute (e.g. my wife is a 40 minute drive to work) and they've just driven past two fuel stations that are out of fuel, you can hardly blame then for filling the tank when they reach the 3rd one.

For us we haven't actually done anything out of the ordinary, we fill 'til the pump clicks every Sunday evening and that's exactly what we did this week, but for people who normally only put in a set amount in £ or fill to half ... ... I can't blame them filling up a bit more than usual at the moment.

i dont blame people for filling up either if they need their car for work, however for people whose cars are sat on driveways full to the brim ..just in case; and people filling water bottles with extra I do blame them

There was a guy on our next door app offering people the opportunity to siphon off fuel from his cars ...on the face of it a very generous gesture but he had obviously been out filling up his 'cars' with no obvious need to.
