Yes, buying petrol in remote mountain areas like Ella is incredibly easy now. The fuel crisis is over, and the large filling stations in Ella town and nearby Bandarawela are fully stocked with petrol.

Furthermore, if you are driving a scooter on very remote back roads far from a main station, you will frequently see small local shops selling petrol in glass glass or plastic bottles sitting on a table outside. This is completely normal and a brilliant, cheap way to top up your tank if you are running low in the deep jungle.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
