Australias Fuel Crisis: Panic Buying, Shortages, and Soaring Prices - Dozens of petrol stations across Australia, particularly in regional areas, have run dry due to panic buying caused by a global oil price surge triggered by the US-Israel conflict with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial fuel route, has been shut down, affecting Asia and now Australia. Authorities have ordered fuel companies to tap reserve stocks and ease sulphur levels to stretch supplies. Treasurer Jim Chalmers warns inflation could reach five percent this year, with petrol prices remaining high until 2029. Motorists are feeling the pinch, cutting back on trips and hunting for fuel-saving measures.
