Director of the smart petrol card program announced that as of 2400 hrs on 27 Esfand 1386 (17 March 2008) un-rationed petrol will be sold. This will be done using a simple method that involves special cards that could be obtained at petrol stations.

Seyyed Naser Sajadi said, allocations for the months of Ordibehest and Khordad (Iranian months start on April 21 and May 21) will be credited to petrol ration cards in conjunction with the introduction of un-rationed petrol. He stressed all necessary actions have been taken with this regard in the petrol smart card system.
He said that the cost of un-rationed petrol would be set in line with the Article 13 (of the Constitution). He added that the price (per liter) of un-rationed petrol should be announced by the end of the day.
