LONDON, Sept 27 Reuters - People in Britain should buy petrol as usual, environment minister George Eustice said on Monday, adding there was no shortage of fuel but problems were being caused by consumers panic buying fuel they didn't need.
The most important thing is that people buy petrol as they would normally do. Eustice says there is no shortage of people, according to the radio announcer.
There is a time when things settle down, people get used to it and return to life as normal again. The faster people do that the better. The only reason we don't have petrol on forecourts is that people are buying petrol when they don't need it.
