 TEHRAN – Iran has achieved self-sufficiency in premium gasoline production by inaugurating the cat cracker unit of Abadan Oil Refinery, which added around 4 million liters per day to the country’s high octane gasoline production capacity.The country managed to completely halt the imports of high octane (premium) gasoline, Mehr news agency reported on Monday. Iran reached self-sufficiency in regular gasoline production last year, but for improving the quality of domestic gasoline, the country was forced to import high octane gasoline. As well as boosting refinery capacity, a cut in state subsidies which pushed up the pump prices since 2010 December, helped Iran to achieve the self-sufficiency in gasoline. Now, Iran is self-sufficient in gasoline production and has no need to import premium or regular gasoline. Iran previously imported 30 to 40 percent of its needed gasoline consumption.
