Despite the low price of fuel in Iran, drivers of cars with foreign license plates are forced to fill up the tanks at the border at a several times higher price.writesSputnik Armenia. One of the drivers told Sputnik Armenia that if they buy diesel in Iran by paying 2,000 drams for a 20-liter container, then the price of fuel at the filling station of the Iranian customs office in recent days has reached 9,000 drams (recently it was 7,500-7,800 drams, and before that cheaper). And that's when the average volume of the truck's tank is around 500 liters.
The situation forced Armenian drivers to spend several days at the border, expecting that the issue would be resolved.
According to the interlocutor of Sputnik Armenia, at some point more than 100 trucks were piled up at the border. After waiting for several days, our interlocutor entered Armenia tonight, paying about 8500 drams for a 20-liter container.
