Rumors and emphasis on avoiding sudden changes
Hojjatoleslam Ahmadi also reacted to rumors circulating on social media regarding the reduction of the 1500 Toman gasoline quota (from 60 liters to 30 liters) and sudden price changes of gasoline, stating: "We are not looking to create shock in society" and did not confirm unofficial news in this regard. He emphasized that the main policy in organizing fuel consumption is to use smart tools and create the possibility for accurate transaction recording and monitoring, so that while managing consumption, the ground for combating fuel smuggling is also provided.
According to the planned arrangements, starting next week, the use of bank cards for refueling will be made available at all fuel stations across the country. These changes are aimed at transitioning from station-specific cards to the use of personal fuel cards and bank cards.
