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. :clap:

if this is true and correct, it would be very easy to get petrol...:thumbup1:

ok
 

it is true and corect . :thumbup1:
i am curently in esfahan and al the petrolstaitions along thr way now the rule. but its always ad the rate of 4000 rial the liter . to get it cheaper with taxi drivers or so did not work til sofar .but for my itscheap enough

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.

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
