* Considering the increase in the third price of gasoline, how much has this done in a separate way saved in gasoline consumption and how much income has it brought to the government?

I would like to thank all the dear ones, government employees and people who implement the car-free Tuesdays plan. We are moving towards public transportation, and in this way, the infrastructure will expand.

According to the statistics given to us, from September 17, 1405, when the plan to increase the third rate of gasoline was implemented, to October 15, 1405, we had a 7% decrease in fuel consumption compared to last year and this year. Also, in this period of time, we saw a 12% increase in CNG consumption in the country. I emphasize that using more CNG will help us to have less pollution and save on gasoline consumption.

The government will spend all the income from this 7% savings directly for people's livelihood issues.

I must emphasize that if gasoline consumption were to increase at the same rate, we would definitely need to import more. But the government's income number has not been published yet.
