I have an employee that is from Iran and visits yearly. Some interesting facts. Iran has absolutely no ability to refine crude. They may export crude but they have to import gasoline. And you would think it would be cheap, right? The answer is that if you make below a certain income they give you credits that allow you to buy gasoline at below market prices. The problem is the lines at stations that can accept the credits are so long that most people, even those that can buy the cheap gas, pay market prices which are higher than our prices. That place is a mess.
