Friggen panic buying loons.
Even at Capalaba which is in no way flood affected, the servos started to shut down today, selling only gas. I did manage to find 1 after passing 4 with all the prices down, so that i could fill my truck and excavator up in preparedness to go west next week to assist clean up. Bit worried i wouldn't get any i told the servo operator, to which he replied, thats funny because ive got enough diesel for nearly 2 weeks!
I suspect there may be a rationing system that is being put in place after this disaster because to add to the fact that ships carrying crude can't get up brissy river at the moment, the caltex refinery here blew up their only operating boiler just before new years! Should be operational by next week hopefully.
