"As it stands today, as a result of the strategic reserves being released and the sulphur content restrictions being eased, there is in fact more petrol in the economy today than there was five weeks ago or four weeks ago."
"The issues that you're seeing in terms of supply for consumers is the distribution of it, and also in some areas overconsumption of people just taking more than they need."
"Families and businesses are being urged to only take what they need, with Mr Minns adding that it can be dangerous to store petrol and diesel in large quantities."
"Particularly in regional communities, you might be taking (fuel) from someone else that really needs it."
More than 100 service stations in New South Wales are out of diesel amid a fuel crisis linked to the Middle East conflict. Premier Chris Minns stated that independent stations struggle to secure fuel. Although petrol supply has increased, distribution issues and overconsumption contribute to shortages. Families and businesses are advised to take only what they need, as hoarding can be dangerous and affect others in need. Currently, 105 stations lack diesel, while 35 have no fuel at all.
