Fine here last night for diesel but they had run out of petrol on half of the pumps, said delivery was due this morning so not worried.
Is the short supply because building sites have just had to order white not red?

Deliveries have been slow, we need to order at least two weeks in advance and they cant actually quote a rate until the day of delivery.Got phoning around and there was a 40p a litre difference between the highest and lowest price, our current supplier was the dearest so I swapped to another, some of them are definitely taking the pi55.

I can’t get delivery prices that aren’t at least 20p more than pump price currently, and that’s on 2000l of white.  Who are you using?
 

Crown Oil are a joke, Certas recently haven’t been much better. As with you, won’t quote until morning before, and on BOTH the last deliveries have sent me an invoice after payment and delivery with a much more expensive price! Even had their debt team calling me! They got told where to go and I eventually got credit notes for the overcharge. But that’s no way to do business.

We are using the fuel cards until prices and deliveries stabilise .
