When you pick up the car from the rental company, it should be full of oil. When you return it, it should also be returned with full oil, otherwise you will be charged three Australian dollars per liter, which is twice as expensive as the gas station. Australia is vast and sparsely populated, with vast and desolate areas outside of towns and more animals than people. In some places, you have to travel more than 200 kilometers to see a gas station, and they are not open after dusk, so you must ensure that you have more than one-third of the reserve oil. Every time you fill up, you must fill it to the brim and add some more oil after the nozzle jumps. You must not wait until the fuel indicator light is on to find a gas station. However, New South Wales and Victoria belong to densely populated areas, and the conditions will be better.

Highland gas stations are scarce and some are not open 24 hours.

Driving in Australia is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are driving a manual car, you will need to be comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. You should also be aware that the speed limits in Australia are generally higher than in many other countries. For example, the speed limit on most highways is 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph). It is important to always wear your seatbelt and to follow the rules of the road. This includes obeying traffic lights, stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians and cyclists where necessary. In addition, it is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving in Australia. This includes making calls, sending texts, and using social media. If you are planning on driving in rural areas, be aware that there may be fewer services available, such as petrol stations and restaurants. It is also important to be aware of the potential for wildlife on the roads, particularly in national parks and reserves. Finally, make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your vehicle before you drive in Australia. This will protect you in case of an accident or other unforeseen event ? Australia Q&A

Not sure how to refill gas in Australia. When my tire pressure warning light came on during a Road trip in the US, I didn't know where to go to refill. I asked a local and they said that every gas station in the US has professional self-service refueling equipment and you need to borrow a hose and nozzle from the gas station's convenience store and do it yourself. There are no stores that specialize in fixing and refilling tires ? Australia Q&A
