Fuel updates.

OK please forgive me if this post is in the wrong section, or maybe shouldn't even be asked on this forum. If so please delete and accept my apologies.
If however it's ok, then here's my question. As MRA is used by many people across the world, and maybe more in Europe, with the current situation in the middle east, we are all aware of the petrol and diesel situation in our respective countries. Would it be possible for people to give updates as to the availability of fuel in their respective countries, and maybe post updates here, as I'm sure people have got plans for touring Europe and beyond ( I know I have ) and would like to be able to access reliable information, rather than rely on one news channel against another.
I've been checking the availability of fuel in France and Germany, and one says its OK, and others say it's not. So getting information from people on the ground, seems like a good idea, that would help us all. Again apologies if this isn't the sort of question that should be asked. -

Won't you end up with the same situation if everyone posts updates about fuel statuses in their neighborhood? This also depends on the accuracy of the status someone posts and when it is posted.
For example: someone fills up early in the morning, drives on for the rest of the day, and arrives at a hotel late in the afternoon. In his room, this person posts a status update stating that there is still plenty of fuel at the gas station where he refueled in the morning and that a reasonably cheap price per liter is being charged compared to other gas stations in the area.
Is this information still accurate if that person posts it late in the afternoon knowing this person filled his tank in the morning? I don't think so. In the meantime, much may have changed: a dwindling fuel supply causing the price per liter to rise, delivery of new fuel delayed, etc.
Just my thoughts...

Yes, if you look at that way. It was just a thought mind.
