Penrhyn Island in the Cook Islands used its last 100 litres of diesel last week and has borrowed diesel from the police patrol boat, as fuel prices continue to go up in the region.
The island is also restricting power use.
They have borrowed 5000 litres of diesel from police patrol boat Te Kukupa II, which executive officer Puna Vano said should last until their next shipment of fuel arrives at the end of the month.
