Govt vows ‘No oil shortage’

The government and oil firms are jointly taking prompt measures to cope with possible shortages of fuel, but while oil prices are speculated to fall later this week, so far, falling consumption is due to cost rather than supply.

The public, especially motorists, are advised to not panic over predicted oil shortages in Thailand because, said Energy Policy and Planning Office director general Metta Banturngsuk, the government will find ways to preclude such an event.
