The Iranian National Oil Products Distribution Company has distributed 71.4 billion liters of oil products domestically 324 days into the current Iranian year (started Mar. 21), Shana news agency reported Feb. 10.
The products included gasoline, gasoil, kerosene, and fuel oil.

The weekly consumption amounted to 458.3 million liters, showing a 200,000 liters decrease week on week, a report on Feb. 10 said.
Meanwhile, Iran's gasoline production will rise to 64 million liters per day by March 2015. The country is set to become an exporter of high-standard gasoline in the next Iranian calendar year (starting Mar. 21).
