From the pockets of people to the pockets of automobile manufacturers; The bitter story of gasoline shortage in Iran

According to the exclusive report of “Energy Press”, the increase in the price of gasoline has once again become a hot topic in the country’s news, and officials deny it while pointing the finger of blame for the shortage of gasoline at consumers.
car manufacturers; The main cause of the gasoline crisis
This is despite the fact that Iranian car manufacturers are the main culprits of the gasoline imbalance crisis with the annual production of 1.5 million high-consumption and gasoline-guzzling cars, and so far no government has been able to deal with them. At the same time, about 1.5 million cars with high fuel consumption are added to the country’s transport fleet every year, which does not leave the fleet line with the same amount of worn-out cars.
Domestic gasoline cars
Domestic cars burn between 11 and 14 liters of gasoline per 100 km, which is 3 times the world standard. Iran consumes an average of 120 to 130 million liters of gasoline daily.
Meanwhile, domestic gasoline production has reached its maximum capacity and the entire amount of production is consumed. Last year, 2 billion dollars were spent on importing gasoline, which is expected to reach 3 billion dollars in 1403.
Also, the government has budgeted 65 thousand billion tomans for the import of gasoline in the budget for the next year, which according to the experts of the 1404 budget bill, smells like an increase in the price of gasoline.
