Show Notes
Inner city Brisbane drivers grapple with soaring petrol prices, reaching nearly $2.50 per litre, while suburban areas remain relatively stable. The spike is most severe in Kangaroo Point, South Bank, and West End, where petrol hovers in the mid-twenties and diesel nears $3.00. Despite a sharp increase over the past week, Brisbanes CBD and nearby spots report no major outages. However, shortages have hit 166 service stations across New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, with dozens in Queenslands regional zones. City leaders urge residents to switch to public transport, which costs just $0.50 for buses, trains, and ferries across South East Queensland, aiming to cut household costs and ease fuel demand. As global tensions continue to drive prices up, officials warn petrol could reach $4.00 per litre if disruptions persist, prompting more people to rethink their commutes and small business routines.
