As fuel prices rise again, Iran’s government urges citizens to cut back

Iran has raised petrol prices again as the government struggles to manage declining revenues and sustain a costly subsidy regime. Prices will double for motorists consuming more than 110 litres per month, increasing from 50,000 riyals to 100,000 riyals per litre. Iranian officials, facing an energy crisis, are urging responsible consumption, while oil exports have dropped from 4 million barrels per day to about 2.2 million in August.
