SHANA: Iran began selling gasoline at a free-market price of 5,000 tomans (50,000 rials) per liter under a new rationing plan that took effect early Saturday eliminating fuel quotas for government vehicles, imported cars and vehicles in free trade zones.
Under the plan, quotas for government vehicles — except ambulances — as well as imported vehicles and cars registered in free zones have been removed. These vehicles must now refuel at the free-market rate of 5,000 tomans per liter. Private vehicles will continue to receive a monthly quota of 160 liters, including 60 liters at the subsidized rate of 1,500 tomans per liter and 100 liters at a second-tier rate of 3,000 tomans per liter. Any additional consumption will be supplied using station cards at the free-market rate. … … …
