Fuel rationing hits Sydney as prices surge

Petrol stations across Sydney's northern beaches are implementing 50-litre purchase caps as fuel shortages affect approximately 700 service stations nationwide. Prices are surging rapidly, with unleaded petrol reaching $2.54 per litre and diesel climbing to $3.21 per litre at some locations. The federal government has ruled out cutting fuel excise tax despite mounting pressure from tradies, waste management operators and consumers facing significant cost increases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
