LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Britain's fuel suppliers said on
Monday they expected normal demand to return in the coming days
after a spate of panic-buying led pumps to run dry at filling
stations across the country.
"There is plenty of fuel at UK refineries and terminals, and
as an industry we are working closely with the government to
help ensure fuel is available to be delivered to stations across
the country," said a joint statement from the fuel industry,
including BP, Shell and ExxonMobil's Esso.
"As many cars are now holding more fuel than usual, we
expect that demand will return to its normal levels in the
coming days, easing pressures on fuel station forecourts. We
would encourage everyone to buy fuel as they usually would."
