Iran to Raise Gasoline Prices for High-Usage Consumers

According to Jin10, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said on Sunday that Iran will raise gasoline prices for users who consume more than 110 liters per month starting Tuesday. She said the first and second quota tiers, including 110 liters, will remain unchanged, while the third-tier quota price will rise to 100,000 Iranian rials per liter, or about 4 cents at the free-market exchange rate. Mohajerani said the increase will affect only consumers who need more than 110 liters of gasoline per month, and that the adjustment is due to the current situation. She added that other drivers can still buy up to 60 liters at 15,000 rials per liter and another 50 liters at 30,000 rials per liter.
