flag A 7-Eleven in Canberra ran out of petrol Monday due to panic buying from a fuel promotion, causing shortages and high diesel prices.

flag A 7-Eleven station in Holt, Canberra, ran out of petrol Monday due to panic buying linked to a nationwide promotion offering discounted fuel vouchers, which were being traded across regions. flag The station had only diesel left and expected new supplies by Tuesday. flag Other local stations reported low inventories, with some motorists paying up to $2.49 per litre for diesel and resorting to carrying fuel in jerry cans, prompting safety warnings. flag Officials said panic buying, not supply shortages, was the main threat to fuel availability and cautioned against stockpiling. flag Claims of price gouging circulated but were not substantiated.
