If the government chooses to suddenly increase the cost of petrol and diesel, we may see queues at petrol stations and even a fuel shortage in the days leading up to the price hike.

It is expected a reduced excise duty on petrol and diesel will be removed in line with updated cost of living measures.

"I think it's really important that we don't have any particular day where fuel goes up very dramatically because all that will do is create a spike in demand as we approach that period of time, which makes managing of stocks really really difficult", he said.Mr McPartlan has been examining what impact the change will have on the average-sized family car.

"No matter what way you do it, when you get to the end, if will reimpose those sort of pre-crisis taxes that were being levied on fuels, you have to remember for context, there are enormously high taxes", he said "If they rip that bandage off, then unfortunately that effects all consumers immediately. It goes straight back on to the price."

If the government start Deporting fakeugees there will be plenty of petrol and diesel to go around, and less carbon emissions,so the fuel carbon tax could be abolished

Buy electric. Problem solved.

Everyone always fills up before a price rise. Same at budget times.

Government already increased price of fuel on 1 Jan. I didn’t see any queue on New Year’s Eve when I filled up.
