WORCESTER still has shortages of petrol at the pumps despite problems reportedly easing elsewhere in the country, and the Army now being deployed to help deliver petrol to forecourts.
There were still issues at all the city petrol stations we visited on Monday morning.
The government's map showing the worst affected areas in the country using a traffic light system has had the West Midlands, in the 'red' category over the weekend.
And despite ministers insisting the situation at the pumps, which has seen queues and panic buying in the past 10 days, is easing - the government's Operation Escalin launched on Monday.
Here is the current situation for petrol stations in Worcester:
Texaco - Droitwich Road - No fuel, was hoping for a delivery on Monday afternoon
CLOSED: Texaco in Droitwich Road had no fuel
BP - Whittington Road - No fuel. Staff said a delivery came in at the weekend but sold out quickly, and they are unsure when the next delivery will be.
CLOSED: BP in Whittington Road
Texaco - Ombersley Road had half its pumps on
ISSUES: Half pumps on at Texaco, Ombersley Road
Texaco - Castle Street remained closed on Monday, staff telling us they were expecting a delivery this afternoon
CLOSED: Texaco Castle Street closed
Essar - Henwick Road had only a couple of pumps on, and no diesel
NO DIESEL: The sign at Essar in Henwick Road
BP - Malvern Road were all out of fuel, and were not sure when the next delivery would be
CLOSED: BP Malvern Road
