The gasoline imbalance in the country, as one of the serious economic challenges, is currently in the spotlight. While the government is looking for solutions to control this crisis, some experts believe that comparing Iran's gasoline consumption with the global average alone is not an accurate criterion for judgment.
Hidden Capacities to Reduce Consumption
According to experts, the main issue is not only the high gasoline consumption but also the existence of significant capacities to reduce consumption and address leaks in the distribution network. These leaks, primarily caused by weaknesses in infrastructure and insufficient oversight, directly impact the imbalance.
The government has initiated actions that seem to help improve the current situation. Increasing oversight on the distribution and sale of gasoline, especially in areas where fuel smuggling is easily possible, could be the first step in this direction. However, some experts believe that without a comprehensive and systematic program, success in this area will be difficult.
Attention to Consumption Management
Many analysts believe that managing gasoline consumption should be considered one of the government's main priorities. As natural resources are rapidly depleting, saving and optimizing consumption can help preserve these resources. Especially in recent years, the rise in global oil prices and the economic problems caused by sanctions have made attention to this issue more necessary than ever.
Ultimately, it seems that the government can overcome the gasoline imbalance by adopting a comprehensive and targeted approach. But will these efforts be sufficient?
