  You are right there Howard could be more problems for us drivers, lets just hope that people don't panic that could cause problems to.!!!

  That's the problem when they say about shortages, many people then do panic buying and actually create a shortage when probably there wouldn't have been one.

  You mean you don't drive like that all the time Scotchie?
  
  I agree with Roger - if there is a shortage it will be of our own making!
