How much fuel could I buy?
The National Emergency Plan for Fuel outlines how rationing would work. For private vehicles, it suggests a limit of 30 litres per purchase. This would ensure more people can get some fuel, rather than a few buying large amounts. It's designed to keep essential services running and minimise disruption during a severe shortage.
