NSW fuel crisis sparks pub surcharges and truck rule changes
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
New South Wales is experiencing a fuel crisis with 387 service stations out of at least one type of fuel, including 247 without diesel and 61 completely out of stock. The state government has temporarily eased weight and curfew rules for trucks to allow larger loads using less fuel, achieving 18-30% fuel savings. Sydney pubs owned by Iris Capital, including the Steyne Hotel and Ivanhoe, have introduced a 1% surcharge on drinks, while the broader hospitality industry considers 1-5% fuel surcharges as diesel prices have doubled since the Iran war began.
