Iranians used an average of 101 million liters per day of gasoline between March and June, up 16% compared with the corresponding period of last fiscal year, deputy manager for planning at the National Iranian Oil Production and Distribution Company said.
“Average daily consumption last year stood at 87 million liters, but it has now exceeded 100 million liters and it is expected to grow further,” Afshin Mahdavi was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Gasoline consumption hit a daily record of 131 million liters per day on March 19, he added.
The official noted that over the past two years, because of Covid-19 and related travel restrictions, gasoline consumption had been subdued, but with the improvement in Covid-19 situation and travel resumption, gasoline consumption has increased.
