But even those cars consume the same or less than an average Benz. 7-8 L / 100 KM. Most experts agree than Iranians over consume. Like I said either the price has to be increased gradually, or the government has to work on public awareness or rationing.
Another idea would be to create a registration system where every vehicles consumption is catalogued. Those who consume excessively should pay more for petrol. Of course transport or delivery vehicles should be except from this scheme.
I read several months back that Iran had built several facilities to process gas (gas flaring) from crude oil production so obviously Iran has the technology. They're planning to bring gas flaring to an end by 2023, in Iranian terms that means probably by 2028 LOL
I don't think that fracking is on Iran's agenda. I'm not sure Iran needs to frack with all the oil deposits it has. Isn't fracking detrimental to the environment ?

1) this is 1990/2000’s car?

Some of these cars don’t have basic safety features and basic modern tech like power steering!
This is what caused gasoline problem (alongside peykan). At one point you could buy a pride for 15,000 toman! Families had up to 3 cars! In what developing country does this happen?
2) you confuse Iran keeping its oil out going with = self sufficiency or optimal production. That couldn’t be further from the truth. A lot of these oil fields are from years ago.
Let me give you an example, Iran’s oil tech does gas flare burn off instead of gas recapture technology. Which means Iran literally burns of millions of dollars in natural gas that comes up with its oil instead of a recapture system that modern tech employs.
Iran has SIGNIFICANT shale oil deposits, but it does not have the tech (nor the investment) to drill those areas (fraking).
3) Chinese BIG investments in energy usually never went anywhere. Much like Chabahar port and India they ended up dragging their feet over and over because of sanctions. Then tried to get better deals because they knew they were the only firms that could invest in Iran given political climate. Chinese firms have been kicked off projects and replaced with IRGC backed companies.
Let’s see if this so called 25 year deal brings any major investment to Iran’s aging energy infrastructure.
4) You don’t become a net gasoline importer if your “self sufficient” in tech. You just don’t.
Look at Iran’s natural gas industry vs Qatar’s. Iran is 2nd in world in proven natural gas yet has such a low production and most of its production is CONSUMED BY ITSELF.
The amount of mismanagement in Iran’s energy sector is just simply astounding. Terrible and treasonous don’t even begin to explain it.
