Petrol / Diesel is readily available anywhere along the sealed highways. Not usually any more than about 350 kms between Road Houses / Petrol Stations, often less.
Beware of fuel contamination and only fill up at the larger Petrol Stations. Cost of the fuel can vary markedly from the price in Alice Springs. Kings Canyon was the dearest fuel stop we found at approx 60c / litre more expensive than Alice Springs. Surprisingly, we found the fuel cost at Uluru to be reasonable.
Opal Brand is the local fuel seen at many stops. Opal is a variety of low-aromatic 91 RON unleaded petrol that was developed to combat the rising use of petrol as an inhalant in remote indigenous Australian communities.
