How we detect outages
We combine every state and territory fuel feed into one national view. A fuel is marked out at a station in one of three ways.
- The feed says so. Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory mark a fuel, or a closed station, as unavailable in their feeds.
- The fuel drops out of the feed. The NSW feed, which also covers the ACT and Tasmania, doesn't flag outages. We mark a fuel out when it keeps missing from a station's listings, and a station out when it stops reporting for days. The same check runs on a secondary feed that fills gaps elsewhere.
- A driver reports it. Anyone can report an outage from the map. Reports expire after 24 hours.
A fuel's share is the stations out of it divided by the stations that sell it, so a fuel few stations sell, like LPG, isn't hidden behind unleaded's bigger numbers. How current a reading is depends on the feed: NSW, QLD and SA retailers must report a change within 30 minutes, while WA prices are fixed a day ahead and change once daily.
This tracker is a live guide, not a guarantee. Stock status can change quickly. Always confirm fuel availability before making a special trip, especially during known supply disruptions. More on our methodology →
