随着全球石油储备日益枯竭，司机们正被警告未来几个月油价将高得离谱。周一，油价再度上涨，基准布伦特原油价格上涨1.68%，至每桶106.07美元（约合151澳元），逼近每桶110美元（约合157澳元）的心理关口。此次周一的飙升紧随美国总统唐纳德·特朗普拒绝伊朗提出的和平协议之后，该协议旨在结束战争并重新开放关键的霍尔木兹海峡。“我拒绝他们的提议，”特朗普周六对记者表示，称伊朗“输得很惨”。“他们想达成协议，我觉得这没问题。我也想达成协议，但那个协议是不可接受的。”据报道，德黑兰提出，若获得制裁解除和停火，将在七天内重新开放这一战略水道。联邦银行大宗商品与可持续发展主管维韦克·达尔（Vivek Dhar）告诉NewsWire，在最坏的情况下，随着各国争夺石油，油价可能飙升至每桶150美元（约合214澳元）。“就我们过去所见而言，要引发那种不受控制的需求破坏，我们可能需要看到油价涨到每桶150美元（约合214澳元）。”“我们的展望是，这是我们看到的主要风险。”基准油价每上涨1美元，司机在加油站每升汽油需多付1美分。自七月以来，无铅汽油的价格已上涨约37%，而柴油价格则飙升了超过45%。达尔并未预测油价会达到这一水平，因为他相信双方都希望达成协议。他指出，如果中东和平协议得以签署，油价可能在数周内迅速回落至每桶70美元（约合100澳元）。但在最坏的情况下，石油供应将出现短缺，各国不得不相互竞价以确保自身的石油储备。
Motorists are being warned about sky-high petrol prices over the coming months as the world depletes its oil reserves. Oil prices were on the rise again on Monday, with benchmark Brent Crude oil up another 1.68 per cent to $US106.07, ($A151) bringing them closer to the psychological barrier of $US110 ($A157) a barrel. Monday’s surge follows US President Donald Trump rejecting a peace deal from Iran which would end the war and reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz. “I reject their proposal,” Mr Trump told reporters on Saturday, saying Iran is “losing so badly”. “They want to make a deal, and I think that’s fine. “I’d like to make a deal too. But that deal would not be acceptable.” According to reports, Tehran offered to reopen the strategic waterway within seven days in exchange for sanctions relief and a ceasefire. Commonwealth Bank head of commodities and sustainability Vivek Dhar told NewsWire under a worse case scenario prices could jump to $US150 ($A214) a barrel as countries compete for oil. “In terms of what we have seen in the past to get that uncontrolled demand destruction we would probably need to see oil prices rise to $US150 ($A214) a barrel. “Our outlook is this is the big risk we see.” Motorists pay an additional 1 cent a litre at the petrol pump for every $1 increase in benchmark prices. Since July motorists are now paying about 37 per cent more for unleaded fuel while diesel drivers have been slugged more than 45 per cent. Mr Dhar is not forecasting oil prices to get to this point as he believes both sides will want to make a deal. He points out prices could rapidly fall back towards $US70 ($A100) a barrel within weeks should a peace deal in the Middle East be signed. But under a worst-case scenario there would be a lack of oil supply and countries having to bid against each other to secure their own reserves. For months, governments and energy companies worldwide have been burning through global oil stockpiles due to the disruption of the critical Strait of Hormuz. Commonwealth Bank forecasts the depletion of global oil and refined product inventories may only be four to nine weeks away. This condensed timeline compares with inventory depletion estimates of 15‑20 weeks just under a month ago. Control over the Strait of Hormuz remains a key point of leverage for both the US and Iran in negotiations. Mr Dhar said while there were risks to global oil prices surge to $US150 a barrel both sides would likely want to make a deal. “We have gotten to the point where we can’t wait for the mid-terms (elections) because back then the view was the US would wait until the election,” he said. “That won’t work given oil markets have gotten structurally tighter we are going to have to see a movement towards a deal quite quickly.” Australia has a ‘strong’ pipeline Energy Minister Chris Bowen said Australia still had a strong pipeline of oil coming in despite the conflict in the Middle East. “What we are seeing in the Middle East is deeply concerning, and it is more important than ever that Australia engages with other nations on global energy security and fuel security back home, in our national interest,” Mr Bowen said. “That is why this week I will travel first to India, where I will meet Minister Yadav and visit the Jamnagar oil refinery in Gujarat, before travelling to Saudi Arabia for direct discussions with Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud. “Australia’s fuel supply remains secure and our strong relationships with international partners are an essential part of that work.” Motorists may still pay more for fuel as governments all but ruled out bringing back the fuel excise cut, which supported Australian motorists during a pivotal point of the US-Iran war. During the early stages of the Middle East war petrol prices exploded with regular unleaded petrol hovering around 218 to 225 cents per litre, while diesel prices sat significantly higher at roughly 309 to 318 cents per litre. In response, the Albanese government previously announced a fuel excise cut and gave the GST on fuel, giving motorists 32 cents a litre back on their fuel prices during the height of the Iran War. This was a temporary measure between April and August to reduce the burden of surging fuel costs
数月来，由于关键的霍尔木兹海峡受到干扰，全球各国政府和能源公司一直在消耗全球石油储备。联邦银行预测，全球石油和成品油库存的耗尽可能仅剩四到九周。这一缩短的时间线与此前不到一个月时估计的15至20周库存耗尽时间形成对比。控制霍尔木兹海峡仍然是美国和伊朗在谈判中的关键筹码。达尔先生表示，尽管全球油价飙升至每桶150美元的风险存在，但双方很可能希望达成协议。“我们已经到了不能等待中期选举的地步，因为当时的观点是美国会等到选举之后，”他说。“鉴于石油市场在结构上已经变得更加紧张，我们必须迅速看到向达成协议迈进的迹象。”

澳大利亚拥有“强劲”的供应管道。能源部长克里斯·鲍恩表示，尽管中东局势动荡，澳大利亚仍有强劲的石油进口管道。“我们在中东看到的情况令人深感担忧，在当前形势下，澳大利亚出于国家利益，比以往任何时候都更需要与其他国家在全球能源安全和国内燃料安全方面开展合作，”鲍恩先生说。“正因如此，本周我将首先前往印度，在那里会见亚达夫部长并参观古吉拉特邦的贾姆纳加尔炼油厂，随后前往沙特阿拉伯，与阿卜杜勒阿齐兹·本·萨勒曼·阿勒沙特亲王进行直接会谈。”

“澳大利亚的燃料供应依然安全，我们与国际伙伴的牢固关系是这项工作的关键组成部分。”由于各国政府几乎排除了恢复燃油消费税减免措施的可能性，而该措施曾在美国-伊朗战争的关键时刻为澳大利亚驾车者提供了支持，因此驾车者可能仍需支付更高的燃料费用。

在中东战争初期，汽油价格飙升，普通无铅汽油价格徘徊在每升218至225美分左右，而柴油价格则显著更高，约为每升309至318美分。对此，阿尔巴尼斯政府此前宣布削减燃油消费税并减免燃油商品及服务税（GST），在伊朗战争最激烈期间，为驾车者每升燃油节省了32美分的成本。这是一项于4月至8月间实施的临时措施，旨在减轻燃油价格飙升带来的负担。
