The figures show that motorcycles used an average of more than 3.55 million liters of gasoline per day between March and September. Monthly consumption was reported at 108.4 million liters in Farvardin, 116.2 million in Ordibehesht, 119 million in Khordad, 90 million in Tir, 113.5 million in Mordad, and 113.4 million in Shahrivar. The highest consumption was recorded in Khordad at about 119 million liters, while the lowest was in Tir at just over 90 million liters.
Of the total, about 578.8 million liters were subsidized gasoline purchased at 15,000 rials per liter, equivalent to roughly 868.2 billion tomans. Another 81.7 million liters were bought at the free-market rate, totaling around 245.1 billion tomans.
In all, motorcycle gasoline consumption reached 660.5 million liters — valued at approximately 1.113 trillion tomans — in the six-month period.
The company noted that these are only approximate figures, as Iran’s fuel distribution system does not yet record the type of vehicle at service stations. Motorcycles can also refuel using vehicle fuel cards or cash purchases, making exact measurement of their gasoline consumption difficult.
Fuel use in the transportation sector is a key indicator for analyzing urban mobility patterns and shaping energy policy. Motorcycles, one of the most common means of transport in large Iranian cities, play a significant role in gasoline demand. With increased urban travel, hot weather, and higher intra-city traffic during the first half of the year, assessing motorcycle fuel consumption helps provide a clearer picture of national energy use — though data gaps and limited system tracking still pose challenges for analysis.
