It's no real surprise, when the media run a 3 minute reel on garages being out of fuel, no one to drive tankers, then add 5 seconds worth of 'do not panic' to the end of it.

Reminds me of when the Chronicle spent a week bigging up McDonalds reopening last year, then ran stories on the day of traffic being backed up for over an hour queuing. Irresponsible media and idiots aren't a good combination.
