Community information on fuel security in South Australia
South Australia has enough fuel for everyone’s usual needs. You can play your part and help demand return to normal levels by keeping to your normal fuel-buying patterns:
- buy fuel if you need it
- buy fuel when you normally would
- keep your travel plans, if you can
- don’t buy more fuel than you need
- don’t stockpile fuel.
Keep you and your family safe
There is no need to stockpile or hoard fuel. Stockpiling flammable liquids like petrol and diesel is strongly discouraged and can be very dangerous.
Tips to reduce your fuel usage
No restrictions on using petrol, diesel or jet fuel have been put in place by the State Government or Australian Government.
However, the rise in petrol and diesel prices has increased cost of living pressures for many households.
You can reduce your fuel bill by:
- using the RAA real-time petrol pricing website to find the cheapest fuel near you
- taking simple steps to reduce your fuel consumption.
Storing fuel safely and securely
If you live or work on a farm or property you may typically need to store fuel. If you must store fuel, make sure it’s in a safe and secure place to prevent theft and fire hazards.
