The lockdowns currently in place across England, Scotland and Wales appear to be having much less impact on road fuel sales than the first lockdown in March 2020, but more of an impact than the second lockdown in England in November, according to the latest figures from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
Average sales for the week ending January 10, the first full week of the lockdowns, were at 63% of typical (pre-first lockdown) levels. This compares with average sales during the first full week of the first lockdown (the week ending 5 April 2020) of 36% of typical levels, and average sales during the first full week of the second nationwide lockdown in England (the week ending 15 Nov 2020) of 73% of typical levels.
