More than 50 vehicles pictured queuing at petrol station amid fuel shortage fears | SWNS

More than 50 vehicles were seen queuing at a petrol station in England as concerns grow over a potential fuel shortage. Aerial footage from Bristol shows long lines of cars and lorries stretching in multiple directions outside a Costco forecourt on Wednesday, as drivers waited to fill up. Motorists reported scenes resembling “something out of an apocalypse film” as demand surged amid rising fuel prices. Petrol at the site was priced at around 145p per litre and diesel at 172p, still below the national average, with some stations elsewhere reportedly charging significantly more. Fears have intensified following disruption to global oil supplies linked to tensions in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, prompting some drivers to panic buy fuel. Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and avoid stockpiling, warning that panic buying could worsen shortages. ------------------------------ Please subscribe for daily viral videos and check out all our social channels here: https://linktr.ee/swns To license this video for editorial or commercial use please contact [email protected]
