ran out of petrol who to call

Run out of petrol? Happens to the best of us—usually right after bragging about your “range”.

First, get the car well off the road, hazards on, and stand behind a barrier if you’re near traffic.

Call roadside assistance (RACV/NRMA/RACQ/RAA/RAC/RACT), your insurer’s roadside assist, or a local tow—most can bring enough fuel to get you moving again.

On a freeway or if you feel unsafe, call 000 and follow instructions; otherwise, a nearby servo may lend you a jerry can.

Pro tip: once you’re rolling, fill it to the brim and vow never to trust that last bar again.
