FED:'Hoarding has stopped': Albanese reveals fuel levels

Drivers have almost a week's more petrol and diesel in reserve than they did at the start of the Iran war, as the prime minister met with state and territory leaders on the ongoing fuel crisis.

Anthony Albanese met virtually with premiers and chief ministers for national cabinet on Monday, as he confirmed Australia's fuel supply remains secure well into July.

There is 43 days of petrol in national reserves, five days more than the stockpile at the start of the war in late February.

The latest figures also revealed there was 38 days of diesel in reserve, six more than at the start of the war, and 31 days of jet fuel, an increase of two.

"There's a tail wind here as well, but it was a positive meeting and supply is looking secure into July," Mr Albanese told reporters in Canberra.
