Supermarket chain Asda has been asked about the fuel station shortages affecting drivers in the UK.
Last week, there were reports that Tesco in Banbury was out of fuel, while others have said there has been no diesel at several other petrol stations in Oxfordshire.
These issues were widespread across the UK as drivers faced empty pumps at forecourts across Norfolk, as the price of petrol and diesel continues to rise.
The Eastern Daily Press reported that the disruption to supplies caused by the Iran conflict in the Middle East was having an impact on fuel.

Similarly, in North Yorkshire, there were also reports of fuel issues as well as in other places across the country.
This newspaper approached several supermarket brands to see how Oxfordshire stores' petrol stations have been affected.
Asda was one of those contacted, but the supermarket giant refused to comment on the situation at this time.
When approached, Morrisons informed this newspaper that MFG owns and operates all of the chain's fuel stations.
MFG then refused to comment at this time when subsequently contacted.

Sainsbury's issued a comment, which referred to the stores across the UK as a whole, informing drivers that sites would be resupplied if shortages occurred.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said: "We are actively monitoring stock levels in all locations and continuing to resupply sites where needed."
Tesco has also been approached for comment, but has yet to respond.
A Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesperson said: "Petrol stations are well stocked. We have a diverse and resilient supply."

This comes after shadow transport secretary Richard Holden criticised Labour’s “energy failure” last week amid growing fears of fuel shortages due to the conflict in Iran.
Mr Holden said: “Labour’s energy failure is wrecking the Easter getaway before families have even packed their bags, grounding holidays and sending air fares into the skies.
“As conflict in the Middle East drives jet fuel prices higher, airlines will pass those costs straight on to British families already being hammered by Labour’s hikes to air passenger duty and airport business rates.
“This is the direct consequence of Labour’s net zero obsession, destroying our energy security with real and tangible consequences for people up and down the country.
“Britain is left exposed, families are left paying, and Labour sit on their hands as the dream of a family holiday vanish.”
