Yes... Fuel was always a matter for Italy. During 20's and 30's, it was common to say that England "held a knife in Italy's neck", due to her dominance of the two ocean-accesses to
Mare Nostrum (the Med). Italy always depended on fuel importation, and Germany was not willing to give more than small quantities to them, since it had it's own fuel problems.
