According to Shanghai’s Xinmin Evening News Sunday, numerous petrol stations along the major Shanghai-Hangzhou highway were jammed with vehicles after they had run out of supplies of diesel.

The report also said people hoping to depart the city for weekend outings had difficulty finding petrol stations selling supplies Sunday morning.

In some parts of the country, commuters were being limited to purchases of only 100 yuan (13 dollars) of petrol, or were forced to buy premium fuel due to shortages of low-octane petrol, various reports said.

Truckers were also finding it difficult to tank up with diesel at a time when seasonal demand was expected to rise due to the ongoing harvest season.
