Eni and Ip Cap Fuel Prices in Italy, Drivers Rush to Stations

Eni and Ip have introduced a cap on fuel prices at their Italian filling stations, leading to long queues and sold-out pumps in many cities. The measure, which took effect on September 28, 2026, aims to limit the cost of petrol and diesel for consumers. Despite the discounts, the average fuel price has fallen only slightly. The price cap applies to Eni and Ip distributors, and the government is monitoring the impact on the market.
