Gasoline shortage in France: 20% of the gasoline stations in country have no gasoline anymore! In some cities gasoline is rationed and is sold only to specific job occupation groups like emergency service personal and farmers etc .

Strike action. Happens in the UK as well. Run on the petrol stations as soon media starts to even hint at shortages. People start panic filling up tanks when they still over half full just in case. Causes stations to run out of fuel.
This is where people's panic plays a big role. Unfortunately, often people really pay too much attention to this, and the result is quite expected.
Are you saying there is no shortage, but just a panic buying? But the question remains: how come, how did it happen in the first place?...
Another one of those things "conspiracy theorists" said would happen a couple of years ago (food and energy rationing) and here we are......
The following news article is from more than a month ago, and was correctly predicted by the author: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-08-30-russian-gas-not-flowing-france-energy-rationing.html " Russian gas no longer flowing to France – energy rationing for the rest of Europe soon on the way Tuesday, August 30, 2022 by: Ethan Huff [...] "
Here you have a map with closed / open stations. Looks like at least half of them are closed https://penurie.mon-essence.fr/w/ https://www.reuters.com/business/en...ationing-petrol-stations-minister-2022-10-08/
@Sekiyo, my French is like my Russian or Chinese: zilch The previous poster had claimed it's the result of strikes, I then had asked him for a link, and you posted your above reply as a screenshot of a French article etc. BUT: is there anything about a strike in this French text? If not, then you did not understand the question. Update: OK, now I see there are indeed some where strike is mentioned... Will need to read it... Ok, then if it's really just the cause of a strike, then it should be easy to solve this French problem: by ending the strike... But I think the real reason is that no oil and gas comes from Russia anymore... That's the result of the EU idiots shooting into their own knees by sanctioning Russian oil & gas...
That's not a news article. That's a cheap opinion piece. You should also try learning the difference between natural gas and gasoline (hint: not the same thing).
