Where has all the fuel gone? Nobody knows the answer to this question but the fact remains that major cities like Delhi and Bangalore are running short of fuel. The condition in Bangalore and rest of Karnataka is expected to worsen.
The scenario in Bangalore is expected to deteriorate in next few days. From the past two-three days, the most running fuel stations in the city are being shut down much before the closing time because of fuel shortage. Many customers are even forced to buy premium fuel, some are compelled to buy branded and costly fuel like Speed and some are left without fuel. Those who are left without fuel are travelling in public transport because they could not fill their car fuel tanks before fuel ran out of stock.
The petro-dealers are saying that there is almost 30 percent of fuel shortage but Oil Companies refute the fuel shortage. Whom should we believe? Is fuel being reserved for special categories? Are petro-dealers unwilling to give normal petrol? Or it is being traded for high income? After all the fuel prices are at the peak.
Think deeply and you’ll definitely get the answer to, “Where’s the Fuel?”

ALready there has been a drastic increase in fuel prices and now there is also fuel shortage in Bangalore its pathetic there should be a proper solution for this and it has to be taken on a serious note and something needs to be done so that it doesnt repeat.
I think that Karnataka Government should become more active and take some initiatives to overcome the issues of fuel shortage. Like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka Government can also take some actions like conducting raids to control illegal selling of fuel, forceful selling of premium fuel and other malpractices. The government can even request companies and multinational to reduce the extra number of buses and cabs running on roads. There are many other ways to get out of this problem, but the government has to take some forceful action.
The government definitely needs to take some precautionary steps and yesterday when i had been to a petrol bunk to fill petrol in my car i waited for almost 20 minutes. And many of the bunks were overcrowded due to the fuel shortage in Bangalore, serious action needs to be taken by the Karnataka Government on this matter.
