Gasoline consumption in Iran hit 59.1 million liters per day during a week which ended on November 4, showing a 3 percent decrease compared to the previous week.

The consumption of four highly-consumed fuels in Iran has rather decreased after the subsidy reform plan was implemented, the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) managing director said.

The consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, kerosene and diesel reduced after the subsidy reform plan was implemented in the country in December 2010, Fars news agency quoted Jalil Salari as saying on October 20.

According to official government data, Iranian gasoline imports have slumped by 95 percent over the last four years.

According to Joint Data Initiative (Jodi), gasoline imports have fallen from 204,000 barrels per day (bpd), or 32.47 million liters a day in June 2007, while seasonal peak imports were down nearly 70 percent in January 2011 compared to 244,000 bpd in January 2007.
