Australia fuel watch tracker: check current petrol and diesel prices, service station outages and shipments – in charts

This interactive tracker provides real-time and historical data on Australia's ongoing fuel crisis, driven by Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the US-Israel war on Iran, including elevated petrol and diesel prices, widespread service station outages (with notable spikes in NSW and Victoria in late March 2026), and cancelled fuel shipments. The Australian federal government has implemented measures like releasing fuel reserves, cutting fuel excise taxes, and rolling out a national fuel security plan to address shortages, with the tracker featuring charts on price trends, outage counts, tanker port calls, and reserve levels.
