- Story Text: As fuel supplies in France become more and more rare
German petrol stations along the border are increasingly
swamped with French cars and trucks.
Thomas Straesser, petrol station manager in the German
town of Saarbruecken, just across the border with France, said
he was selling twice as much petrol as usual because of the
strike in France.
Scores of French drivers were filling up not just their
cars and trucks with diesel fuel but also plastic cans they
brought with them.
About 80 percent of all petrol stations in France were
reported to be either dry or under tight rationing. Stations
were also shutting in Paris, the area least hit by the
protest.
