Iranians driving cars with engines of 1,800cc and bigger will stop benefiting from a rationing plan that supplies subsidized gasoline, Iran’s Oil Ministry news website reported, citing an energy official.

Iran will stop supplying fuel at a cheaper price to “all new locally produced as well as imported passenger cars” with engines of that size, Mohammad Royanian, head of Iran’s transportation and fuel management office, said in today’s Shana report. Iranians with cars pay 4,000 rials (33 cents) a liter for a monthly allowance of 60 liters and 7,000 rials a liter for larger volumes.
