The average daily consumption of gasoline in the previous month of Bahman (January 21-February 19) stood at 80 million liters, the figure fell to 70 million in the current calendar month of Esfand,” Shahram Rezaei told Shana.
According to the official, the fall in gasoline consumption as a result of the implementation of the rationing scheme is significant because the country’s fuel consumption was following an upward trend before gasoline was rationed.
The average daily gasoline consumption since the beginning of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21, 2019) up to the implementation of the rationing scheme on November 15, was about 95 million liters, which showed a 6.1-percent increase compared to the average daily consumption for the previous year.
