Iran's gasoline output to reach 70m liters/day

According to IRNA, Abbas Kazemi further said, "The average gasoline production currently stands at 62 million liters per day and this figure would hit 70 million liters after an 8-million-liter gasoline production plant come on stream."

He predicted that the average gasoline consumption in Iran will increase to 76-78 million liters per day, given the 1.3 million more cars produced.

Officials had earlier said that with the inauguration of the first stage of Persian Gulf Star Refinery, Iran will become self-sufficient in gasoline.
