i think Dodgydago meant, rules have already again changed, you have not to buy a card any more. (it´s only the question, if every petrol station in iran knows about this procedure)
just go to the petrol office and fuel up.

I rode around Iran on a small 125cc locally made Hona rip off... you see them everywhere. I bought it off a friend i made in Esphahan. They did a dodgey on all the paperwork and also gave me a fuel card all for $200US. sold it back for $100US had the time of my life. The locals loved that i was doing it on a small local bike. thought i was crazy.

check out some of my Iran pics Andrew McLagan Travel Photography - Iran, Chile, India, Asia, Bulgaria, Romania, Malaysia, Nepal

Hi,

Just back from Europe- Stans. Passed Iran fro Turkey - Black Sea coast- Mashad - Turkmenistan.
No problem finding petrol for the bikes. If you have the card you pay Rial 1000,-.If you don't have a card the man at the station puts in a card and you pay Rial 4000,- (USD 0,40-) Fine for me.

I have seen long line ups for filling stations, but that was for the almost-for-free-CNG (natural gas).

Regards,

Guido
