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.
