Fuel remains scarce at many service stations across Thailand, even though reserves are more than adequate, amid continuing problems with delivery bottlenecks and unusually high demand, officials said on Thursday.
The Ministry of Energy surveyed 2,649 service stations from Sunday to Tuesday and found that 1,912 had completely or nearly run out of some kinds of fuel, said Wutthitat Tantivess, deputy director-general of the Department of Energy Business.
