We also depend on diesel for moving

goods around the country, trucks, all of that kind of thing, heavy machinery in mining, heavy machinery in building.

If you think about that tiny microchism of keep the car full with all those different things.

So there isn't a supply crisis right now,

But the supply chain will be disrupted down the line.

What we have right now is a demand crisis, which is, as I said, the microcosm of me and my suburban regional family saying keep the cars full is step repeated and then on a different scale when it comes to industry.

So there are some petrol stations.

There's a lot of pressure at the minute for the various premiers to be saying, this is how many petrol stations in my state don't have petrol and all those things.

And then they might have it again tomorrow, but it might be gone again because basically the demand and supply has been destabilized by this crisis.

So whether or not there's actually less petrol and diesel in the country right now is not really the problem.

The problem is that the supply chain is going to be disrupted

And so everybody's buying.

Although, because I've heard that too.

Not necessarily.

I don't mean they're necessarily panic buying, like filling, but they're just buying more than they normally would.

And then obviously if your industry depends on it or your livelihood depends on it or your, you know, then you're going to be more proactive in keeping your supplies as full as you can.

I drive a lot.

I live regionally.

I drive my car.

I wouldn't be exaggerating when I say I drive it about 100 times more than I did when I lived in a city.
