On Tuesday South West Fuel was the cheapest at 282.9 a litre, Grenfell Local next best at 285.9 and Independent Grenfell were charging 289.9 a litre for diesel.

It's been a different story for unleaded 91 petrol with Independent Grenfell having not changed their price since 9 March at 212.9 a litre and is the cheapest in town for unleaded 91 at the time of publication.

Despite rising prices, and panic buying around the country running some fuel stations dry, any Grenfell residents who are worried about possible fuel shortages can breathe a little easier with Grenfell Local reporting that supplies have remained steady.

Bhavya Dhingra, manager of the Grenfell Local, said they had not experienced any disruptions to fuel deliveries.

"We haven’t run out of fuel and we haven’t been close to running out," Bhavya said.

"Our deliveries have been coming on time and there haven’t been any cancellations."

While some communities have reported supply issues, Grenfell Local has continued operating as normal.

However, Bhavya said the rising fuel prices were creating challenges for both the business and customers.

"At the moment the prices have been very expensive which has been difficult for us but it is difficult for our customers as well," Bhavya added.

To help customers where possible, the service station has been offering small in-store specials such as 2 cents off per litre and every fuel purchase over $100 receiving a free small coffee.

Grenfell Local expects its next fuel delivery to arrive as scheduled, meaning drivers should not need to worry about immediate shortages.

NRMA reported that last week average regional prices for regular unleaded rose 29.6 cents per litre while diesel prices rose 51.2 cents per litre.

They have also said unleaded prices seem to have flatten out at the moment however, how fast prices continue to rise will be dependent on future wholesale price increases.

In Sydney diesel prices rose 49.6 cents per litre this past week and the current average diesel price is 271.1 cents per litre. 

The current average price for regular unleaded fuel in Sydney is 229.6 cents per litre (Monday afternoon, 16 March).
