Summer diesel consumption rises sharply
Official data showed that diesel consumption during the summer season in Jordan increased unprecedentedly, reaching nearly seven times the usual winter rates, or about 1.4 billion liters. This led to the depletion of subsidized fuel stocks and posed a threat to their sustainability. The surge also caused damage to truck engines due to the illegal use of kerosene in fueling, resulting in significant financial losses. The union warned against abuses related to exploiting the price difference between the two fuel types and confirmed that strict legal measures would be enforced, including closures and prosecutions, against stations involved in fueling diesel vehicles with kerosene. These measures come amidst geopolitical disruptions and global fluctuations in energy prices, as well as ongoing cooperation among authorities to adopt sustainable solutions for fuel consumption, such as expanding the use of gas-powered vehicles as a safe and economical alternative.
