Fuel shortage fears, are you panic buying?
Fears of a fuel shortage are causing huge queues at petrol stations across the region. A potential strike by tanker drivers has caused speculation that fuel may run out.
The government has been criticised for advising people to fill up their cars and jerry cans.
