Both these maps are too broad a brush and don't properly reflect what is going on. I live in a village in Lincolnshire. The local village petrol station had plenty of petrol even on Thursday 30 Sept, as did Tesco in Lincoln. How anyone can make an average of a region stretching from coastal Lincolnshire, where some of the UK's biggest refineries are at Immingham, to the north boundary of Derbyshire and the southern boundary of Northamptonshire I don't know, but it is meaningless and just part of the media-induced panic.

Averaging Lincolnshire seems pretty trivial compared with averaging the whole of Scotland ranging from Glasgow city centre to the Cairngorms. Our local rag had an article about panic buying at ASDA but when I filled up last Tuesday morning as usual there was plenty of fuel and only 2 or 3 other cars amongst the 8 or 10 (can’t remember) pumps. Mind you, Grangemouth is just down the road! It seems the media have created a panic out of nothing.
