The fuel retail association stated that sales were 5x normal levels. I guess that means many were panic buying!'Panic buying' is a lie. People NEED fuel to: get to work, visit elderly parents, get to hospital, and for many, many other reasons. To call it 'panic buying' is to blame the victim.
Well if only 5% of users fill up in public, that's less pumps needed then!That somewhat ignores the fact that with fuel, you don't have to leave the nozzle in for 40 minutes to get a tank to 80% full...
And before you say only 70% have drives, there is a hugely disproportionally higher car ownership in homes with parking versus high public transport use with homes without.
