The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, on October 6, 2023, provided explanations about the impact of the implementation of the third gasoline rate on fuel consumption patterns in the country. According to published information, gasoline consumption during the implementation period of this plan has decreased by about 3% compared to the same period last year.

Consequences of Implementing the Third Gasoline Rate

On the other hand, this decrease in consumption may impact revenues from fuel sales, and this issue requires further investigation.
Considering that Iran is one of the largest oil producers in the world, changes in domestic fuel consumption can affect the country's developmental and economic plans. Therefore, a more detailed examination of this issue and continuous monitoring of gasoline consumption and other oil products seems necessary.
