Motorists are being urged not to panic and to only buy the fuel they need, as more than 600 tanker drivers continue a four-day strike. Are you seeing any effects at the pump?
Is your local petrol station busier than usual? Have you noticed any panic buying? Have you had to queue - or is it business as usual?

Steps to save 1/3 of your fuel when driving
I read this on the net, so most of it is rubbish, but some of these are common sense winners
Step 1: Make your car more efficient.
Keep your tyres correctly inflated. Efficiency Improvement: Up to 3%
Declutter your car. Efficiency Improvement: Up to 2%
Take your roof rack off. Efficiency Improvement: Up to 2%
Turn off the air con. Efficiency Improvement: Up to 8% !!! damn, we've only just got it as well
Don't fill it up - half a tank is better than a full tank as fuel is heavy
Step 2: Drive more efficiently (potential of 60% off)
Accelerate gradually without over-revving.
Drive in the correct gear.
Slow naturally.
Think about road position.
