Energy experts urged Australian motorists to fill up their cars as the Labor government reintroduces the full fuel excise, which is expected to lift petrol prices by 25 cents (US 16 cents) a litre at the bowser.

The excise, which was halved by the former Morrison Government in March to help drivers deal with soaring petrol costs due to the war in Ukraine, expired on Sept. 28.
