Petrol prices fury

ANGRY British motorists claimed petrol prices rocketed by up to 15p (17c) while they queued — blaming it on “profiteering” fuel suppliers cashing in on panic buying.

Watchdogs last night called on the UK Government to send in the Army to deliver supplies to forecourts amid the chaos.

Comic Paul Chuckle ( 73) said he was charged £1.54- a- litre (€ 1.79) at a Texaco garage while signs said it was £1.39 (€ 1.62).
