Has the Gov.UK discovered some form of virtual ullage?

Surely panic buying of road transport fuel, when it is only a short final transport leg that is the cause of the panic, is self limiting and of short duration. Once the tanks are filled once to bursting there will be insufficient ullage in the car population overall to continue at anything other than normal consumption levels.

The only other destination for stocking a greater reserve would be in jerrycans with the accompanying increased danger of domestic fires.

(Virtual ullage would be an maritime safety boon. Fewer bunker or cargo spills - just put on the goggles and continue pumping).
