In Memory of Adam "Hoffy" Hopf

One year ago today, we lost our colleague and friend, Adam "Hoffy" Hopf, who was tragically taken from us in a traffic accident.

Adam was deeply respected across the fuel industry and held in the highest regard by all who knew him. He was a well-known and familiar face throughout our region, delivering fuel to farmers and local businesses, year-round, rain or shine.

A year on, the loss is still deeply felt. Our hearts and thoughts remain with Adam's family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Adam will always be remembered, and he will be deeply missed by us all.

🕊️Rest easy, Hoffy. 🕊️

FUEL CRISIS UPDATE

Due to emergency shipments and increased stockpiles. Australia's national fuel supply is stable at Level 2 of the National Fuel Security Plan,

- 44 days of petrol available
- 36 days of diesel available

While fuel flow remains normal, prices, especially for diesel, continue to be volatile, reflecting ongoing market fluctuations.

Fuel prices are expected to rise significantly from June 2026 across Australia.

The Key Factors driving the price hikes,

- Middle East Oil Shock: Disruptions to shipping routes
- Excise Relief Expiration: The fuel excise cut of 26.3 cents per litre
- Local Price Cycles: Local servos continue pushing prices

FUEL PRICE UPDATE - KEEPING LOCALS INFORMED

Hi South Burnett Community and nearby areas,

As of mid-April 2026, fuel prices have begun to stop rising or slightly drop from recent peaks due to a combination of de-escalating tensions in the Middle East, a temporary ceasefire brokered with Iran, and government interventions.

Key Reasons for the Recent Fuel Price Drop (April 2026)
- Diplomatic Breakthrough with Iran
- Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz
- Government Intervention (Australia) - Excise Rate halved for 3 months (expected to end in June 2026)

Contextual Factors
- Despite the recent drop, fuel prices still remain sharply higher than before the conflict, with predictions that they may take months or even years to fully return to pre-war levels.
- The situation remains volatile, and analysts warn that any further escalation in the Middle East could quickly reverse these gains.
