The program to restart use of fuel cards without restarting the 2015 gasoline rationing system would be pointless, the former head of the gasoline rationing office said.
"Reactivating old fuel cards in and of itself cannot help curb the rampant fuel smuggling, nor can it create an incentive to reduce consumption," Abdolreza Amini was quoted as saying by ISNA.
A government plan to ration gasoline and increase prices was put on hold last month by the Majlis. However, the government says it wants to revive the fuel cards the use of which ended four years ago.
