Station in Vale Parra, had a delivery this morning, now has all fuels and no queues, so I thought it had all blown over, until I saw the madness at the station by the Two Worlds roundabout! What is going on!

Tourists, pah! Let them walk. It is illegal to store petrol at home of course. |

Hi Pete Yes you are right but 22 across the Algarve is still totally inadequate, There is only ONE in Albufeira despite all the vistors. ( I know there is another in Ferreias but that is hardly in Albufeira) Crazy

If the strike lasts until September there will be more to worry about than being unable to put fuel in your car. The state of emergency comes into effect at midnight tonight and is currently to run until 21st August. Petrol and diesel for cars will effectively be rationed to 15 or 25 litres a day depending on whcih station. Don't worry, the government will cave in, to avoid the threat of civil unrest.

http://www.ense-epe.pt/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/REPA-Geral.pdf Thanks Pete for link Just checked - only 9 fuel stations across the whole Algarve will have Army support yet Beja alone has three!!!. Sounds like the Algarve has been ignored again - with the influx of tourists it is going to be absolute chaos unless the can reach agreement

Yes, it normally takes me 35 minutes to get to the airport, last night over an hour because of the queueing for fuel, they are causing local gridlocks including the island at the airport, gridlocked down the dual carriageway, took 20 minutes to get through and get to airport car parks.
The police should be there moving cars on making it clear you can’t queue on an island or carriageway when you are effectively blocking access to an International airport. The worst news apparently is the strike officially starts Monday and is planned to go through to September. |

The fuel tanker driver's strike planned for Monday is already taking hold. Large queues at several fuel stations yesterday spilling onto road so even those with fuel were being delayed. As I needed petrol for my lawnmower I headed out early this morning to get a gallon (5 litres). Repsol at Montechoro had no queues as they had run out!!!. Onto 125 at Ferreiras big queues on both sides. Grass cutting has been abandoned but its drizzling here anyway now. Argghhhhh.
