Australia's fuel supply: tracking prices, outages, and shipments

theguardian.com

Hundreds of Australian service stations are empty, fuel prices are high, and shipments are canceled due to Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The federal government has released fuel reserves, cut excise taxes, and implemented a national fuel security plan to address the crisis. Data shows a spike in outages in New South Wales and Victoria in late March. At least six fuel shipments have been canceled or deferred, with more expected. Despite this, Australia's fuel reserves have increased since pre-war levels.
