How this tracker works
Data sources, confidence levels, and coverage caveats
Government data sources
All outage data comes from official state government fuel reporting systems. Some states report out-of-stock signals directly. Others are detected when a fuel type stops appearing in the price feed. PetrolPulse applies validation rules to filter out false positives from feed delays, closed stations, or fuels a station has never stocked.
Frequently updated
Data refreshes continuously from state government feeds. Update frequency varies by state, from every 30 minutes to twice daily.
Always confirm before travelling
This tracker is a live guide, not a guarantee. Stock status can change quickly. Call ahead if you are making a special trip.
PetrolPulse aggregates official government fuel feeds across all states and territories to produce a unified national outage view. Our outage figures are consistent with numbers reported by national media citing government sources.
