Iranians burnt as much as 21 billion liters of gasoline between March 22 and Nov. 22, up 14% or 2.6 billion liters compared with the corresponding period of last year, the head of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company said.
“Daily demand averaged just above 85 million liters in the 245-day period, indicating a 22% rise compared to a year ago when Covid-19 inter-city traffic restrictions were still in place,” Keramat Veiskarami was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Gasoline consumption reached a peak between June and July, such that on some days, demand was as high as 105 million liters, he added.
According to the official, gasoline sold in big cities is compliant with Euro-4 emission standards.
