Na gas stations MOL and Shell companies in Slovenia a limit was introduced for the purchase of fuel. At MOL pumps, 30 liters for cars and 200 liters for trucks can be bought at once.
"Dear friends, with the aim of ensuring a balanced supply of fuel to the market, we inform you that fuel dispensing is limited to 30 liters per customer," announced MOL, as reported by Slovenian media.
The company states that the urgent measure to limit the volume of fuel deliveries should ensure equal treatment for all customers, prevent shortages and thus ensure supply.
The Shell company also decided to temporarily limit the delivery of fuel, so a limit of up to 100 liters was introduced at their gas stations.
For now, as reported by the Slovenian media, only the market leader Petrol has given up on such a move.

A barrel of oil 112 dollars
This decision comes in parallel with the price increase OIL to over $100 a barrel after Iranian media reported an airstrike had hit a facility at the world's largest natural gas field.
The reference price of Brent crude oil reached 112 dollars per barrel on Thursday, which is an increase of more than five compared to the price on Tuesday, the BBC reports.
The spike followed reports that it had been hit Iranian petrochemical complex on the South Pars gas field. A few hours later, Qatar reported that the industrial site of Ras Laffan had suffered extensive damage following an Iranian attack.
Although both oil and gas prices have risen sharply, the current price remains below the highs seen earlier in the conflict, with the BBC recalling that oil had hit $116,78 a barrel on March 9.
The Iranian Oil Ministry announced that the fire at the petrochemical complex is under control, the Tasnim news agency affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported.
