BP Deals With Fuel Shortage

Around 30% of the BP (NYSE: BP) petrol stations in the U.K. are out of fuel, according to a Reuters article citing the oil and gas giant on Sunday.

Fuel Shortage: Meanwhile, the Petrol Retailers Association says that two-thirds of its members in the U.K. reportedly sold out of their fuel, ABC News said.

Background: There’s a growing fuel shortage in the U.K., which is due to global gas price surges as well as a sudden lack of truck drivers.

Numbers: Shares of BP are up 25% in the past year. It is also up 5% in the past month.

Final Thoughts: This gas shortage in the U.K. could impact BP, which has been one of the most stable energy stocks this year. It could also impact other oil and gas companies in the U.K.
