Reduction in Consumption and Optimal Management
The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company pointed to the positive results of gasoline consumption management and said: In the first 10 days of Aban this year, gasoline consumption decreased by 1.2% compared to the same period last year. This reduction may be due to the management of gasoline consumption in both pricing and non-pricing sectors.
Additionally, Veys-Kermani referred to the highest levels of gasoline consumption in various provinces and stated: Tehran province has the highest consumption with 20 million liters daily. The provinces of Fars, Khorasan Razavi, and Isfahan follow in the rankings.
Effective Measures to Reduce Consumption
Veys-Kermani also mentioned the actions taken to reduce fuel consumption and said: Since September 8 of this year, the price of gasoline with an emergency card at the station has increased from 5,000 tomans to 10,000 tomans. These changes in fuel rates have led to a reduction in the average daily gasoline consumption in the country to 133 million liters.
He also highlighted the collection of fuel station cards as one of the important measures and said: This plan was initially implemented as a pilot in Kerman province and has so far saved 13 billion tomans.
Increase in CNG Consumption
Referring to the results of the fuel station card collection plan in Kerman province, Veys-Kermani stated that this action has resulted in a 13% reduction in gasoline consumption and an increase in CNG consumption. Currently, there is a capacity to supply 40 million cubic meters of CNG daily in the country, equivalent to 40 million liters of gasoline.
In conclusion, he emphasized that with the cooperation of the people and the implementation of consumption management plans, we will get closer to the target of 120 million liters of daily gasoline consumption.
