In days when the country is embroiled in wartime conditions and parts of its energy infrastructure, including refineries and petrochemicals, have been damaged, fuel consumption management has become more important than ever. Experts believe that public participation in reducing gasoline consumption could play a significant role in preventing a fuel shortage crisis.
The deputy chairman of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Council of Deputies emphasized: It is estimated that about one-third of the total refining capacity of the Persian Gulf is now offline; this lost capacity is not limited to crude oil alone, but forms the backbone of global markets for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

A member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Council of Experts emphasized: We have people with extensive experience in the fields of oil and electricity, both in terms of expertise and human resources, who have been active in these sectors for many years; certainly, the damage caused during the war will also be compensated in the shortest possible time.
