A strike action by service station leaseholders has been announced for Italy. The strike is scheduled to begin tonight at 7PM local time and for 48 hours. Self-service gas stations are also to be affected. So go prepared and consider this in your routplaninng if you are on the road in Italy the next days.

Safe travels!

According to media reports the strike action was cancelled already after one day. Maybe members based in Italy could confirm that? @Beoverland @MattLodi ? Thank you.

Sorry I’ve been far from the forum for some days.
I confirm that the strike is ended, btw even during strikes some self-service pumps are always working.

Always good to get some infos from onsite. Thank you for that, Matt!
