UK’s Eustice: There isn't a shortage of petrol

The UK Environment Minister George Eustice said in a statement on Monday that there is no shortage of petrol.

He added that the “most important thing is for people to buy petrol as usual.”

His comments come as the fuel crisis in the UK aggravates, with the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA) having warned that as many as two-thirds of its membership of nearly 5,500 independent outlets are out of fuel, with the rest of them "partly dry and running out soon".
