Fears the Government isn't taking the fuel crisis seriously enough.

We have 56.3 days of petrol, 45.4 days of diesel, and 47 days of jet fuel, either landed or on the way.

Simplicity chief economist, Shamubeel Eaqub says there seems to be a lack of certainty the fuel will actually arrive.

He says we should be conserving supplies more. 

"Because any time we buy now gives us more resilience."
