WANA (Dec 08) – Iran’s government spokesperson, Fatemeh Mojaherani, announced that the price of gasoline purchased via government-issued fuel cards will rise starting Saturday, December 13.

 

Fatemeh Mojaherani, speaking to reporters in Kerman on December 8, said a working group formed on November 23 approved the price increase after several meetings.

 

Under the new pricing, gasoline on fuel cards will cost approximately 5,000 toman per liter (~$0.04).

 

Mojaherani stressed that the change will have little direct impact on most citizens. About 80% of Iranians can still meet their fuel needs under the existing quota system, which allows 60 liters at the subsidized rate of 1,500 toman per liter (~$0.013) and 100 liters at 3,000 toman per liter (~$0.025).
