Panic buying at the County?

Stories of a fuel shortage at Campbeltown's County Garage has led to panic buying in town today as vehicles brought traffic in Millknowe to a standstill as they waited to fill up. Some fuel pumps are now closed. With some papers reporting only 20% of fuel deliveries are being made from Grangemouth due to the weather are people correct or being over cautious?

I walked past about 20 mins ago and the signs were gone, so I assume they got one early afternoon.

Mizzy you were spot on unfortunately - diesel up to 131.9p and unleaded up to 127.9p today
Out of interest, does anyone know what McNairs are charging for diesel at the moment?

I got diesel at Mcnairs a few days ago - £1.25. Up in lochgilhead on Sunday it was £1.23. I try not to go to the county if I can help it - fuels dear enough, that's just greed!

There was this afternoon Eleanor.
I mentioned about the price of the diesel as robbery and said that I thought they were the dearest in Argyll & Bute (are they?).
The poor lass at the counter probably being harassed by all told me to take it up with Esso. I said to her that the Lochgilphead garage, also Esso was cheaper.
