Discover more...Most visitors travelling through Central Australia rely on diesel-powered 4WDs, campervans and touring vehicles, with diesel available at the majority of roadhouses and fuel stops. Petrol vehicles are also well catered for, although many remote communities stock Opal fuel rather than standard unleaded petrol. While fuel is generally accessible along major touring routes, travellers should plan ahead due to the vast distances between service stations and the higher costs associated with remote locations.
