Slovenia became the first EU member state to implement fuel rationing, limiting private motorists to 50 litres per day and businesses to 200 litres. The measures respond to fuel shortages at pumps caused by cross-border 'fuel tourism' from neighboring Austria, where drivers take advantage of Slovenia's lower regulated fuel prices.
