The panic can't last forever (he says!). People presumably aren't suddenly driving loads more, so once everyone is filled up they'll not have space to fill up again. So this is the peak, trough is to follow.
Unless Jerry cans are next on the list
Now the problem will be tankers can't get past the queue of cars blocking the entrance to the services, deliveries will take longer so there will be fewer of them.
A certain trade body is crying out to have it's wings clipped.

Local anecdotes.
Woman drove 12 miles, queued up for 35 mins, and then could only put £5 of deisel in the tank.
Neighbour is squadron boss at local RN base, and some of his staff are qualified tanker drivers. Not yet been asked to provide support.
Thats like the PPE during the first lockdown.
Loads of UK suppliers/producers asking to supply it and the gov gives a 300 million pound contract to a fucking ratcatcher who doesn't supply half of it and much of the stuff they do is substandard.
Not sure how nobody has been dragged over the coals for that one yet.
“Many of the country's biggest food makers are telling grocers that they will have limited quantities of a number of their products, including items such as Rice Krispies Treats, Sour Patch Kids, some Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors, McCormick gourmet spices, and Marie Callender's pot pies because of labor, commodity, and transportation constraints throttling supply chains.”
