This retro servo draws crowds with live music, fire pits and deep-fried lasagne sangas
Based at what was once a 1950s Mobil petrol station at the top of Port Kembla's main shopping strip, The Servo's easygoing community vibe creates the sort of place where food spills do not matter. Opened in 2018 and running Thursday to Sunday each week, its laidback retro hub-hub is overseen by James Spink, who curates a menu of live music acts, art exhibitions and workshops, makers' markets and a revolving menu of food trucks and collaborations with chefs from far and wide. Food pop-ups have come from Papi's Birria Tacos, El Cantina, Pho King Delicious, Messina, 2 Smoking Barrels, and many others, and he's hosted gigs for acts ranging from The Pretty Littles to Quivers, Elana Stone, Charm Of Finches and Mikelangelo and the Long Lost Friends. Spink has also developed a bespoke beer, PK Lager, a collaboration with Seeker Brewing from nearby Unanderra. Cracking open a can on The Servo's concrete forecourt between bites of Roy's juicy sandwiches may equate to heaven. As Dog Trumpet take the stage inside the venue's mural-edged former workshop building, a storm lights up the evening clouds above plumes of steam billowing from the Port Kembla steelworks in the distance. The Servo's crowds sway to the music, Hendrickson and Gibbs sling more buns and cocktails and the steel plant's gas flame fires on. Three more food trucks to try Papi's Birria Tac o s Fill-up into the night with luscious, and massive, birria and chicken tacos, quesadillas and ramen, rich consomme for dipping, and a superbly gooey cheese melt on brioche, from young chef Lawrence Diaz's hotly popular two food trucks. 163-165 Parramatta Road, Haberfield and 71 Jubilee Avenue, Carlton, Roman's Deli Park yourself on a cushion-topped milk crate for towering salmon, fried chicken or falafel bagels, toasted pastrami or portobello mushroom, sandwiches or strawberry yuzu iced matcha at Serwan Roman and Andrew Vu's ever-popular one year-old servo-adjacent food truck. 250 Henry Lawson Drive, Georges Hall, Koshari Korner On the edge of Addi Road's central car park, this food truck's wide-ranging Egyptian street food menu includes golden fried sambushek pastry (filled with sweet potato, cashews and spices), bisara (fava bean puree) and comfort food koshari, a mixture of fried rice, noodles, brown lentils, chickpeas and crispy onion.

Fact Check: Are Gas Prices at Four-Year Low as Donald Trump Claims?
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump, who has repeated the slogan "drill, baby, drill" on the campaign trail and in the Oval Office, has pledged to boost domestic oil and gas production and bring down prices, a feat that on Wednesday he said has been accomplished. With the American Automobile Association (AAA) estimating that 61.6 million people will drive for the holiday weekend, many will welcome lower prices at the pump. The Claim In a July 2 post on Truth Social, Trump shared a photo of him clapping in front of a gas pump, with the words "Gas prices are at a 4 year low." The Facts Gas prices are estimated to be about $3.15 per gallon on Independence Day, according to GasBuddy, a fuel price tracker. At that price, gas would be at its lowest level for a July 4 holiday in four years, which may be what Trump was referring to, as it was $3.49 per gallon last year and up to $4.80 in 2022. However, the current price is not the lowest overall price for the past four years. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, regular gas prices were lower at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, with December 2024 recording a per-gallon price of $3.006. Ahead of January 20, Trump's inauguration, prices rose to $3.04. By the time Trump took office, they were $3.109. Fuel prices on a pump at a Mobil gas station on May 22, 2025, in Houston. Fuel prices on a pump at a Mobil gas station on May 22, 2025, in Houston. Aaron M. Sprecher via AP The data is backed by AAA, which wrote in a January 9, 2025, press release that gas was at $3.06 per gallon, citing a low of $3.01 on December 10. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis also noted that on March 17, prices dipped to $3.058. In December 2023 and January 2024, prices were $3.058. "Americans are seeing the cheapest summertime gas prices since 2021—more than 20 cents lower than one year ago—as President Donald J. Trump delivers on his promises of lower prices, stable inflation, and higher wages," the White House said in a June 25 statement. Gas prices often fluctuate because of factors such as supply and demand and geopolitical tensions, as was the case with U.S. strikes on Iran. "It's also the third straight year-on-year decline for gas prices on July 4, due to the continued gradual rebalancing of the U.S. economy after re-opening in 2022, combined with Russia's war on Ukraine, which pushed gas prices to record-setting levels," GasBuddy said on its website. The Ruling Needs Context. Trump's comments are accurate when referring specifically to July 4. Gas prices are generally low compared to previous years across most cities but have not yet crossed the threshold to be labeled as the lowest. FACT CHECK BY NEWSWEEK
