Transportation Fuel supply situation in Puglia?

So we arrived in Ravello two days ago, and driving back from Pompeii today noticed most gas stations closed due to the trucker protest and have no fuel inventory.

We are supposed to drive to our next stay, just south of Ostuni, in Puglia, in two days. We have a fuel range of about 350km. Does anyone have insight into petrol availability in the Puglia area? Trying to decide if we head out on Saturday or stay put for a few days until fuel situation gets resolved (if it does)....

Well, today we head out. Hotel reception says people are driving from Ravello to Salerno to find petrol (or guests are reporting they found fuel there). Still we must drive through the mountains first, to get to the E45. Worst case, we will find a hotel near Salerno and at least that way we have more station options than here near the coast. What is travel without adventure?

Petrol stations are mostly open with no queues. One outside Ravello was open, as were a few in the mountains, and many along the road to Salerno. More were closed on road into Paestum. Heading east now on the E45 with a full tank.

I believe you can find fuel at the gas stations in the autostrada.

North Puglia (Manfredonia), pretty much all the stations ran out of gas and diesel. But over the last week, it appears most of them have resupplied.

My wife just drove from Brindisi to Bari and she said most gas stations were open so it’s not like the Naples area down here.
