Why were there fuel shortages at some gas stations?

This weekend, the inhabitants of the Alpes-Maritimes found themselves very annoyed in front of petrol pumps… dry! According to BFM Côte d’Azurit was simply a lack of supply from service stations since everything returned to normal on Monday.

The main cause being the traffic ban for heavy goods vehicles, which provide supplies, which lasted until Monday morning. The problem has been repeated every weekend since June.

In addition to fuel prices still as high, 2 euros per litre, motorists also have to deal with fuel tanks that are emptying faster than they are recharging.
