Questions
Is there a fuel shortage in Australia right now?
153 stations of the 8,118 FuelRadar tracks in Australia (1.9%) have a fuel flagged as unavailable or missing from the latest report. The list below names each station and the fuel affected. A flag is a station-level report, not proof of a wider shortage.
How many petrol stations are out of fuel in Australia?
46 stations in Australia are reported out of at least one fuel type: the state price scheme marked it unavailable, or the station listed it at zero or at a dummy price. 107 more stations have a fuel missing from the latest report, which may mean it is out or was not reported.
Which fuel is hardest to find in Australia right now?
Premium Diesel has the most flags: 50 stations. Next are Diesel (38) and U91 (36).
Is there a diesel shortage in Australia right now?
75 stations in Australia have diesel or premium diesel flagged (18 reported unavailable, 57 missing from the latest report). A flag is one station's report, not proof of a wider diesel shortage.
Which state has the most petrol stations without fuel?
Victoria has the most flagged stations: 44 of the 1,738 FuelRadar tracks there (2.5%). Next are New South Wales (40) and Queensland (27).
Will Australia run out of fuel?
This tracker cannot answer that. It shows outages at individual stations, which can come from a late delivery or one fuel selling out. The Australian Government publishes national fuel stock levels each month in Australian Petroleum Statistics.
How does this tracker work?
FuelRadar reads the fuel prices stations report to state price schemes and through their brands. When a report marks a fuel unavailable, lists it at zero or at a dummy price, or leaves it out, that fuel is flagged at that station. The page counts the flagged stations by fuel type, state and area.
What do the solid and outlined fuel tags mean?
A solid tag means the state price scheme marked that fuel unavailable, or the station listed it at zero or at a dummy price such as 999.9, which means it is not on sale. An outlined tag means the fuel dropped out of the latest report, so it may be out or may just not have been reported.
Why do outage counts differ between fuel shortage trackers?
Trackers count different things. FuelRadar counts stations, not fuels, so a station with two fuels flagged counts once. It includes fuels missing from the latest report as well as fuels reported unavailable, and drops a flag after 14 days. A tracker that leaves out missing fuels, or keeps flags for longer, shows a different total.
Does a flag apply to every fuel grade at the station?
No. Only the fuel types shown on the station are flagged. Other fuel types at the same station may still be on sale.
How often is the list updated?
FuelRadar checks station reports every 15 minutes. The time under the heading is the last check.
Why might a station show no flag?
The list only covers stations that report to a state price scheme or through their brand. No flag is not a promise of stock, so call the station if you need a particular fuel.
