The Deputy Minister of Oil said: The issue of three rates of gasoline is baseless and nothing in this format has been announced until today. Rather, non-price policies are on the government's agenda.
It has been nearly two months since the supply of super gasoline has been stopped throughout Iran.
Regarding fuel rate reform, Manzoor said: The government has tried to increase the resources from oil exports through energy saving measures.
There are many reasons for the shortage of gasoline, the most important of which experts consider to be worn out cars, which in addition to air pollution have also harmed the country's economy.
Gasoline should be made more expensive when the car becomes cheaper
Metin Deidari said: According to the investigations carried out, the Chinese plans to convert methanol into gasoline are not feasible in Iran.
A member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Parliament said: "A targeted comment has been made with last year's rates, and the government should not have a plan to increase the price of gasoline or increase it to three rates."
One of the environmental issues that has always been the subject of debate among experts is the quality of gasoline, but now the news of the possibility of producing Euro 5 gasoline in one of the country's refineries has been published in the media.
The deputy oil minister said: I believe that the added value created from the products produced at the end of the methanol chain is more economical, but the closest way to prevent crude sales and methanol exports and to prevent gasoline imbalances in the country is to implement MTG plans.
While concerns about the quality of gasoline produced from methanol are increasing, petrochemicals are happy that 50% of petrochemical producers are dedicated to this issue, they are not even willing to inform about the quality and method of producing gasoline from methanol.
