One forecourt was closed by police in Southbourne, Bournemouth at 11am today after motorists argued over queue-jumping in a half-a-mile tailback of cars waiting to fill up.
Jason Babbe, 33, who was in the line of cars outside the Murco garage, said: "I queued up for an hour before I could fill up.
"While I was waiting I witnessed an argument between a taxi driver and another motorist and there were other rows going on with people taking pictures of each other on their mobile phones.

Fire engines were called to the Esso Express on King's Road in Chelsea, west London, where a driver had put too much fuel into his van.
A London Fire Brigade spokesman said: "We arrived just after 11am to the King's Road petrol station and were there for about 20 minutes after a van driver over-filled his vehicle.
"The diesel leaked all over the forecourt and we had to clean it up for safety reasons.
"The driver was going on a long journey and over-filled by about three-quarters of a litres.
"We're not sure why he over-filled the van, but it possibly is related to the fuel strike. We don't wish to speculate."
