Panic bulk-buying of fuel could spark rationing for motorists, experts have warned.
The alert has come after last weekň€™s four-day strike by tanker drivers, which saw queues as people stocked up on petrol.
Ray Holloway, president of the Petrol Retailers Association, said: ň€śThereň€™s a risk forecourts will be forced to limit drivers to as little as 15 litres of fuel so thereň€™s enough to go around.ň€ť
The strike, caused by a pay dispute between the haulage companies and drivers, affected only Shell garages. But Holloway insisted thereň€™s no need to panic buy for strikes of this sort. ň€śThereň€™s plenty of fuel as long as everybody buys normally. It only affected Shell forecourts, and they only account for one in 10 stations in the country.ň€ť
