Petrol Cheaper Than Water in Iran: Mind-Blowing Price Revealed!
•Iran boasts some of the world's lowest petrol prices, with Octane-95 at 15,000 Iranian Rials per liter (approx. $0.029 USD or ₹2.5).
•The Iranian government heavily subsidizes petrol to ensure affordability for its citizens, despite global average prices being around $1.35 USD per liter.
•A three-tier system offers the first 60 liters at 15,000 Rials, the next 100 liters at 30,000 Rials, and subsequent amounts at 50,000 Rials to control consumption and smuggling.
•Despite potential disruptions from the Iran war and rising global oil prices, domestic petrol prices remain low due to government subsidies, placing a huge burden on the economy.
•Iran, a major oil producer, processes oil locally and maintains subsidies for economic equality, though this leads to fuel waste and smuggling to neighboring countries.
