50 Liters of 10,000-Toman Gasoline Added to Personal Fuel Cards in Five Provinces From 23 October; Emergency Cards to Be Withdrawn

According to Fars, as carried by Donya-e-Eqtesad on Friday 23 October 2026 (1 Aban 1405), 50 liters of gasoline at the third-tier price, 10,000 tomans per liter, have been added from the start of Aban to the personal fuel cards of cars in five provinces: Razavi Khorasan, Kurdistan, Ardabil, East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan. Under the scheme, emergency fuel cards will be collected from stations in these provinces, and drivers will fill up with their personal cards.

The report says long queues at stations and repeated claims by some station operators that they had no fuel card had caused public dissatisfaction in recent days. The manager of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company's Urmia region said that, to manage the situation, a plan raising the usable quota on personal cards takes effect from the start of Aban, on a decision of the cabinet and the Security Council. The report gives no explanation on rollout in other provinces or on the final quota per card.
