This link seems to be covering old news stories. I don't seem to be able to find anything online currently re new yellow vest protests? Would be helpful, like you say, if anyone has any first-hand info re this for potential travellers.

Ditto. Nothing about French fuel shortages on recent mainstream or social media that I can see

 

[Jmick]

The only thing I could find was a story about rising fuel costs and speculation about the gillet jaune appearing again -possibly?? (Link below - which is a little helpful as it states current French fuel prices)

Furious french call for Yellow Vest uprising as petrol prices soar

EMMANUEL MACRON is facing revolt after petrol prices in France soared for the sixth consecutive week, prompting calls for a resurgence in Yellow Vest protests.

I figured the same, more about price rises than actual shortages, Jmick.

Just back from the Limoges area, no problems at all, think that must be old news

Have to say, even when signed in, I can only find references to 2018 shortage. But those on the ground will , I am sure, be able to give more information?

Still no problem with fuel, but had to try 4 or 5 places over the last two days before finding one who had lpg. It should see us through for about 5 weeks. But we’re curious to find what’s it’s like in Italy who I believe are more dependant on Russian gas and oil.

Was that 4 or 5 places with LPG pumps but no LPG or just no LPG pumps?

Thats good news about the fuel. LPG in Italy I've no personal knowledge but I believe I've read that it's not intended for domestic use and some outlets won't supply it but some will

 

[jacquigem]

Yes Italy the only place we have been refused lpg for domestic use. Next garage along road did supply though. Some years ago now .

With pumps but out of order or empty.
