Petrol pump shortages are being warned of ahead of the Easter weekend, as drivers are likely to try and fill up twice to try in a battle against the 'eye-watering' prices. Simon Williams, the head of policy at the RAC, said drivers travelling this Easter weekend would face 'truly eye-watering prices'. He said: 'March has been truly unprecedented - fuel prices have never risen this fast in a single month. And this weekend people will fill up on Friday before making long journeys and by Monday have a low tank. Amid rail shutdowns and packed airports this weekend, millions of drivers will be embarking on Easter getaway trips in the UK and taking to the roads today.
