Oil Minister: Transferring gasoline quota to bank cards will be implemented in the coming months

According to Energy Press, Mohsen Paknejad stated today (Wednesday, January 23) on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on the impact of implementing the new gasoline plan on the consumption of this petroleum product: “Based on a comparison that our colleagues made between the first and the twenty-first of December, when this regulation had not yet been implemented, the use of personal cards for refueling was actually about 17 percent less than the station card, which is a considerable amount.” He stated that since the implementation of this regulation until the week ending December 30, the use of station cards for refueling has decreased by a total of 24 million liters per day, adding: “Of this amount, about 15 million liters have been transferred to the use of personal cards, and about 9 million liters represent an actual decrease in gasoline consumption.” The Minister of Oil stated: “In any case, the implementation of this regulation in this short period of time has had these effects, but in terms of statistical basis, short-term comparison may not be a suitable basis for conclusions in this regard and long-term effects should be considered.”
