Unprecedented Decline in Gasoline Sales

The coronavirus outbreak has decreased the sale of gasoline at gas stations across Iran by a massive 50%, a board member of the Gasoline Station Owners' Association said.
“Due to the noticeable plunge, owners are finding it exceedingly difficult to pay wages, let alone hire new workers to fill up the tanks,” Ebrahim Be’aji was quoted as saying by ILNA.
According to National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company data, consumption of gasoline has dropped to 67 million liters per day – a number unseen in decades.
