Talks in the pay dispute between haulage firms contracted to Shell and their tanker drivers, who began a strike on Friday, are set to resume later today.
By yesterday, more than 600 of the 8,700 petrol stations around Britain had run out of unleaded and diesel fuels.
The drivers say they will hold a second four-day stoppage over next weekend if the dispute is not resolved.
But union Unite says there is ground for optimism, and the employers claim both sides have moved position.

Yes, its only Shell.
As for the supermarkets, shame you don’t see the refineries they own. Oh, thats right, they buy from refineries. Including Shell.
Less supply just means the other stations are busier.
Buy an electric car, they don’t create any pollution! Apart from the thousands of kilowatts generated at the power station to charge it
