After Iran retaliated against U.S. and Israeli military strikes by controlling shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and targeting energy facilities of U.S. allies in the region, fuel prices have surged dramatically across many countries, with Slovenia becoming the first EU member state to implement fuel rationing in response to the energy crisis. Under Slovenia's new regulations, private car owners can purchase a maximum of 50 liters of fuel per day; businesses and farmers are allocated higher quotas of 200 liters. Due to the low, regulated fuel prices, so-called "fuel tourism" has emerged—drawing drivers from neighboring countries, particularly Austria, to refuel in Slovenia. Slovenia is encouraging fuel retailers to restrict refueling for foreign drivers.
