Fuel protests at refineries and fuel storage depots will begin this Saturday (December 15th), an action group has warned.
On its website Transaction 2007 said a nation-wide protest would begin at 10am on Saturday.
The posting said: "Transaction 2007 has decided to release the date and time of protest action earlier than scheduled. This is to enable the motorist and public to better prepare themselves for the coming action.
"This date was decided by members as the best possible to ensure those who would normally be working during the week to attend.
"This action will be initiated at a refinery or storage depot somewhere near you.
"Anyone wishing to support action is requested to make your way there at the time".
Transaction 2007, which says it is working with and for the UK's transport and farming industries, added: "Greed is what seems to fuel the people in power and this is what it's all about, greed".
The Road Haulage Association said it would "always support members who wish to protest legally" but denied any direct links with Transaction 2007.
In 2000 Pembroke's Chevron refinery and Milford Haven's Total refinery were blockaded. See Wednesday's Western Telegraph for full story.

Brown must look at his policy on this and the only way is to put it in his face.
It is a pain and no doubt I will be one of those frustrated drivers hunting for some fuel, but they have my full support.
