High Gasoline Consumption Cause for Serious Concern 

The National Iranian Oil Company will need to import gasoline from next March if efficient alternative plans like CNG conversion plans fail to move forward, secretary-general of the Association of Iranian Refining Companies said.
“There is no quick fix for the looming fuel shortages because arrangements such as building new refineries or manufacturing fuel-efficient cars are either infeasible or long-term,” Nasser Ashouri was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
All refineries in Iran are producing at full capacity (110 million liters of gasoline/day) and output cannot rise any further. To meet rapidly growing demand new facilities must be built, Ashouri noted.
Construction of Shahid Soleimani Petro-Refining Plant in Bandar Abbas and Mokran Refinery in Jask Port, both in Hormozgan Province, has started, but estimates show that the projects will come on stream in 2025, he added.
