Resident Deb McLennan said BP was withdrawing its LPG bowser from Donald, meaning cars that relied on gas would have to make a 60-minute round trip to fill up.

She said BP told residents the change would start when it introduced new standards.

"The service stations need some upgrading to continue to sell LPG under BP's new standards," she said.

"BP has stated they are not prepared to spend $100,000 on the upgrade."

Ms McLennan said the community was told only 10 customers would be affected.

"I don't believe that's true because off the top of my head I can count at least 15 people who use gas," she said.

"It will also affect traffic coming through town - there would be people coming from Melbourne to Mildura who would always fill up at Donald because they know it's there.

"We are a small, rural community and this is unreasonable."

Ms McLennan said motorists would need to travel to St Arnaud, Charlton or Wycheproof to get LPG.

Donald residents have started a Facebook page - Please BP don't leave me stranded - to voice their concerns.

A BP spokesman confirmed the company would withdraw LPG from BP Donald.

"BP's decision is the result of concerns we have for ageing infrastructure which, due to low levels of LPG sales, is no longer commercially viable to upgrade," he said.

"We understand and regret any inconvenience to LPG users in the Donald community."

Buloke Mayor Reid Mather said council would request a meeting with BP.

"We support the Donald community. This situation has been difficult for Donald staff who are employed by BP because it is not their decision" he said.

Cr Mather said the mayoral car used LPG.

"I understand the issue and people have invested in gas cars that will all of a sudden be not as efficient as they used to be if they have to travel to get gas," he said.

"This will also affect the economic viability of the town.

"People driving through might stop to fill up and by doing so, they will also spend money in town. If there is no gas, they will keep driving.

"We are not going to go and beat BP over the head without understanding their actions, which is why we want to meet with them."
