The price of high-quality gasoline, which has started to be sold in Iran, has been raised to 800,000 rials per liter, approximately one manat.
"Report" informs that this was announced by Iran's oil minister Mohsen Paknejad.
Thus, on December 25, a pilot project was launched for the sale of high-quality gasoline. However, the price increase has not been unanimously welcomed.
M. Paknejad stated that the pilot project was prepared to test consumer demand and the price increase. "At least 17 companies have already obtained permission to import this gasoline, but their entry into the market will depend on the results of the pilot phase and consumers' reactions to the final price," the minister noted.
