We have not had a 35% share of personal fuel cards in free gasoline refueling/import gasoline

According to the economic reporter of Fars news agency, Ali Akbar Nejad Ali, the CEO of the National Oil Products Distribution Company, stated in a press conference today: After the implementation of the gas station fuel card arrangement plan, the consumption of free gasoline with a personal fuel card has increased from 1% to 35%.

He added: the upward trend of gasoline consumption is extremely high, and gasoline consumption has increased by 21% in 1401 compared to 1400. This year, gasoline consumption has increased by 10% compared to the same period last year.

Nejad Ali stated: Currently, gasoline consumption is more than 110 million liters per day, which is breaking even with production. Until now, we did not import gasoline, but to meet the high demand of gasoline during Nowruz holidays, we had to use strategic reserves of gasoline.

The CEO of the National Oil Products Distribution Company said: “We have obtained a license for free dual fuel for 926,000 public cars, but due to the small price difference of CNG and gasoline, people did not accept it and only 257,000 vehicles were dual fuel.”

He emphasized: Currently, the consumption of CNG gas in the country is 24 million cubic meters per day, but there is also the capacity to increase it by 12 million cubic meters, but car manufacturers do not support the production of gas-burning vehicles.

Regarding the rumors about the role of Iranian gasoline in the burning of cars in Venezuela, Nejad Ali said: Considering the high consumption of gasoline in our country, we do not export gasoline at all for such an incident.

The CEO of National Oil Products Distribution Company continued: Diesel consumption in the 45 days of the beginning of the year was an average of 103.2 million liters per day, and our prediction is that this number will reach 116 million liters, which is equivalent to our production. This means that the balance of diesel will be zero this year.

He said: Currently, all stations have an emergency fuel card, but make sure that it must be used for emergencies.

Nejad Ali said: We have implemented the coding plan in Sistan and Baluchistan province, so that people’s personal fuel cards are coded in the smart system, but there are also places for the use of citizens outside the province.

The CEO of the National Broadcasting Company said: “The government and parliament have no plan to increase the price of gasoline and we have repeatedly rejected the rumor of increasing the price of gasoline.”
