Javad Oji is the tenth Iranian oil minister to use the famous phrase "hard winter" for Europe; however, contrary to his prediction, this winter was not harder than ever for Europe, but for Iran, and the energy imbalance during his term as minister became one of the most tangible crises in recent years.

First Vice President of the Republic, emphasizing the necessity of energy consumption management, said: "In terms of gasoline consumption management, the government's effort is to make decisions in a way that does not harm people's livelihoods, but at the same time, we must also consider the economic realities of the country and the ongoing developments and manage the conditions."

According to Energy Press, Jaafar Qadri, in an interview with Shana news agency, stated that under the current circumstances, the use of non-price methods for gasoline should be prioritized. He added that increasing public transportation usage, promoting renewable energies, and adopting alternative fuels like CNG are among the strategies to reduce gasoline consumption. He further

If each household in the country reduces its daily consumption of gasoline by just one liter, considering around 20 million households, approximately 20 million liters of gasoline consumption will be saved daily, which is a significant and impactful number.

The Minister of Power said: We could have supplied the electricity needed for one million electric cars with just 20 megawatts.

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.

استاندار تهران گفت: مصرف بنزین در استان تهران که در ابتدای جنگ ۲۴ میلیون لیتر در روز بود، با صرفه‌جویی مردمی پس از تجاوز دشمن به ذخایر نفتی به ۷ تا ۸ میلیون لیتر در روز رسید.

With the implementation of the new gasoline scheme, the use of station holders' cards has decreased by 17% and the use of personal cards has increased. Also, about 9 million liters of consumption decreased daily and the amount of consumption decreased from 129 million liters to 120 million liters.

A government spokesman announced that the supply of super gasoline will begin tomorrow.

The government has been forced to import $6 billion worth of gasoline to meet domestic needs; despite the high cost and widespread smuggling, current quotas remain unchanged.
