What a load of rubbish!

The shelf life for petrel is about 6 months and we have been out of lock down for 6 months so we have used a normal amount of petrol so that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

"Has petrol got a best before date on it ? "

Yes

The storage life of petrol is one year when stored under shelter in a sealed container. Once a seal is broken the fuel has a storage life of six months at 20°C or three months at 30°C.

More like a run on fuel to boost the tax and VAT coffers. They are making us pay for the furlough now.

Boris admitted a so called "shortage" was leaked ( accidentally on purpose).

He looked painfully embarrassed when interviewed.

Sadly the public fell hook line and sinker for it. Even more criminal is the fact genuine fuel needs were caught up in the mele. NHS workers left to fend for themselves. I noticed the police were no where to be seen.

Ever got the feeling you've been had.

I know for a fact that the shelf life is far longer than that. It can sit in storage tanks at refineries/fuel depots for far longer than 6 months. But the additives/ethanol that’s injected as it goes into the tanker, heading to the forecourt has the shelf life.

How much more fuel will have been bought, when averaged out over a couple of months? Except for people driving around looking for filling stations, or leaving their engine running whilst queuing, will there really have been much of an increase overall?

Hey, did anyone see the front page of the Metro? 'Everyone's happier using public transport, taking advantage of the new flexible travelcard... letting the train take the strain' etc. Fed to the commuting masses as they pick up their free daily propaganda sheet. No fuel, exorbitant prices so a great way to force people off the roads - as is the government target

What is your source for this idea? And what makes it more reliable than the media?

Have the admit, I watch very little news, but they is because it is sensationalist and repetitive, not because I think they are lying

Like you say, fuel usage has been increasing steadily for many months. And if there was a glut of petrol that needed to be shifted then this would have happened 12 months ago. It didn’t.

Also, fuel firms would have reduced production of the end product after sustained periods of lockdown rather than increase it and causing oversupply. The theory makes no sense on any level other than “it must have been the elite conspiring to shaft us”, a common delusion/ excise

Yes I do feel I’ve been had sometimes. Paying for so-called “wars” (politically motivated invasions) would be top of the list. We were completely lied to by Blair.

In this instance, no. It’s pretty clear what had happened and that it is being resolved. Most of the panic buying had been done now so things will get back to normal

I believe some providers, not all. And I read several sources not just one. I place more trust in those that have a proven track record of being accurate and less trust in those who are constantly trying to stir things up abs back testing their outlier proves it to be inaccurate.

I don’t trust all of the media. I don’t even trust most of the media. But I do trust some of them.

The fuel wasn’t due to go off. This rumour started from the fact that the new E10 fuel has a shorter life span than the older fuel.

Oil prices fell during the pandemic as demand fell so there was no over production. Petrol produced doesn’t sit around for long before it hits the pumps and if we stopped producing petrol then at normal usage rates we would run out in weeks

Don’t believe all you read on Facebook.

I watch the news about twice a year, when some major story breaks. And then remember why I don’t watch the news ... the dramatic “end of the world” tone to everything, doom and gloom. My church visits are confined to weddings and funerals these days.

This is utter tripe.

Fuel companies are absolute experts at tweaking their production rates to keep stored fuel at the correct levels, there is neither a surplus of fuel or capacity to store a surplus of any significance.

People really will believe every hair-brained conspiracy going.

TV news is very sensationalised but looks only at headlines and then only for a minute or so on each. Much as I hate to sound like my dad, you need radio 4 or programmes like Andrew Marr or Sophie Ridge to delve deeper into stories.

Exactly

It’s a remarkable development in recent years, to simply say that the government and mainstream media are lying and offer an unsubstantiated rumour or theory as an alternative, with no proof, sources or backing.

They could have achieved the same results by lowering the price of fuel. It's getting ridiculous.

Or it's just a very "clever" (not) way of tricking people to get back on public transport. Which is not going to work until public transport is reliable, regular and affordable.

Again assuming that the whole situation is a politically motivated “trick”?

I believe that there are supply chain issues which have been compounded by panic buying. Things just happen most of the time ... not always part of an evil master plan

There were 30 petrol stations on the south coast that were having delays to deliveries and that is what started the panic.

As for supply chains; most of the problems will be due to staffing in the agriculture sector rather than logistics
