Anyone looked at the FILLPG app recently? It's like a desert for LPG across the whole country. Apparently finding Calor gas is a bit of a problem also.
Depending on where you are and how far you want to travel there are still cheap outlets but they really are few and far between. We manged to fill up at The Gas Station just outside Birmingham, for 50p a litre. Birmingham seems to have more LPG than anywhere else at the moment.
Izzy's cousin is in the oil industry and he says the main reason has been the pandemic and lockdowns, all terminals are full but there has been no demand but as things ease, there should be more availability and gas production will ramp up.
Unfortunately, some filling stations are no longer doing LPG as it's not a big cash earner but are they missing a trick? We often fill up with diesel when filling LPG and more often than not we will buy something from the garage shop - no LPG we'll move on.
Because of the scarcity of outlets we have replaced our 6kg tank with an 11kg so now we have 2x 11kg which should last us a month or more.
