Major fear of fuel shortages following heavy attack on America

The Colonial pipeline holds 2.5 million barrels a day, 45 percent of the East Coast's diesel supplies, gasoline, and jet fuel.

This pipeline completely broke off the network after a criminal gang attacked him Friday, writes BBC, translates Periscopi.

The emergency status being required to cope with the situation facilitates the oil regulations transported on the road.

This means that drivers in 18 American countries can work extra, or even more when carrying gasoline, diesel, aircraft fuels or other refined petroleum products.

Experts have said prices are expected to rise by 2-3 per cent on Monday, but that the impact would increase even more if the problem is not continued after cyberattack.

Independent gas market analyst Gaurav Sharma told the BBC that there is already much fuel left in the Texas refinery after what happened. /Periscope
