my trick
my trick at the end when my cards where empty.
get a 5 Litre jerrycan and a 20`000 Rial and wave both to people currently getting fuel..... You dont even have to say single word.... Go back to your bike, fill the 5 litres in your tank and begin again. Works excellent and very quick for me, even close to the pak border.

Our experience
We arrived from Turkey by train to Tehran. Instead of buying a Petrol card, we got coupons. You can get them in any city, just ask for the City Hall ("Far Mandari"). They gave us 300 liters each and we can use them at any NIOPDC petrol station. I guess its cheaper than the card because we pay for one liter / 1000 rials (+/- 10 US cents).
Anyway, good luck to all of you

card or not?
Hi there,
just been to the far mandari and the petrol station HQ in esfahan, i have been told i can but a 100 Lt petrol card for about 35euro (500.000 rials) then i can purchase fuel at 5.000 rial per Lt. but 5.000 x 100 equals 500.000 (the price of a smartcard) and without card u can buy petrol for 4.000 rial per liter, it looks cheaper this way... Am I getting this all wrong???? locals here seem to have all different opinions on this issue.

Hi Alex
This is Stephan who bought the bike chain from you in London. How are you? Paul, who is staying with me in Sharjah at the moment, was recently in Iran. He says the pumps don’t work without someone providing a card. So if you get a card, as a foreigner, you should be able to get as much fuel as you like even if it’s more expensive. However, without your own you will be dependent on other people to activate a pump for you. There is also a black market in cards (around Bandar Abbas, at least), but we’re not sure how you can actually know what’s left on a second-hand card before you buy one. Watch out for Adam, coming your way… he’s leaving Dubai for Bandar Lengeh tomorrow morning. All the best, Stephan

1 liter totals 6000 with a card
So...
The card costs you 5000 rials a liter. At the pump you pay another 1000 rials for a liter. Getting fuel with a car is quick and painless. You can start persuading taxi drivers or pick-up drivers to lend you a few liters. Some won't mind, some do mind. You can be lucky and bump into a generous or naive pick up driver, and get your fuel for 1000 a liter. The typical black market price ranges between 4000 and 10 000 a liter. Depending on where you are, it might be easier/cheaper to find black market fuel then elsewhere. We found it easier away from the Turkish border. Between Tabriz and the Turkish border, nobody seemed keen an selling fuel at less then 6000. I remember paying more right before the border (more was still much cheaper then Turkey though). ;-)

Petrol without card
Hi,
Im in Shiraz. I was told at the port by the customs and immigration officers that petrol stations now have a card that allows everyone to buy fuel at 400 tumar 4000 Rial a litre. So far three refuelings and no problem. DD
