Slovenia limits fuel purchases as pumps run dry

Imagine if you were driving one of those massive 70s cars. [This was considered a small car](https://youtu.be/tfKHBB4vt4c?si=Slyq3q8xmPafzNUg&t=8) though I wouldn't mind having some rich Corinthian Leather instead of the c**** interior I've got now.

Well people will start acting more local again like those times.

I think this would be preemptive to prevent a run on gas. It's pretty easy to make a fake shortage like toilet paper back during covid.

It's to prevent gas tourists from other countries to come across the border, filling up gas tanks and gas cans while risking that locals can't buy it in the future.

Indeed, it's like a full tank to me and It's enough for entire month.

But 200 for farmers can be an issue.

The thing we had elections on Sunday so the goverment was postponing the price increase until after the elections (the price of gas is regulated here). The farmers knew that price will go up and since it's spring, they have the largest need for fuel now for their machinery, so they started hoarding diesel and emptied many gas stations.

Maybe for a personal vehicle

The opposite will happen. You see, the economic outlook is stressful, and employees working from is hard to bear for management in the best of times, so they need to get some worries off their minds or they will burn out completely. Or something like that.

Nearly all gasoline used in the USA is produced here, Americans will however get to pay a lot more for it. So the oil executives will win bigly and be able to buy more yachts! My household has 2 EV’s, I just wish I bought solar panels last year.

Enjoy it Americunts; you did this to yourselves.

Dad used about three quarters of a tank on his daily commute and we had two cars, one with an even and the other an odd plate. Every single Tuesday through Saturday us three kids and Mom took one of the cars to the gas station to get it filled up. Sometimes we would be sitting in line for up to three hours just to get the tank filled so Dad could go to work the next day. This nonsense went on for like half a year, not at all fun.

It's Melanias husband's fault.

Not really? The government of Slovenia is center left and pretty progressive on foreign affairs, e.g. they have called Gaza a genocide and condemned the Iran strikes. Maybe you're thinking of Slovakia?

Yup, same happened to me, the employees don't give a shit about this crisis/feud, whatever.

Do you believe the trucks that drive the frozen pizzas and beer to supermarkets run on rainbows and sunshine

The lower prices were probably because of the elections held today, they will probably rise tomorrow or on Tuesday

Not that Europe cares particularly for what Slovenia or Hungary might want, particularly with the upcoming election
