That’s about 25 gallons a month. I can’t believe Iranians are driving 30 miles round trip a day. They must be reselling the almost-free gasoline to smugglers (who then move it out of the country for resale), and this rationing is cutting into their income.

Did you miss the part where that guy is driving a car made in the mid 70's? If he gets 15 miles per gallon I would be surprised. And that is only 16.7 miles a day. If he gets more like 12 mpg then it is 10 miles. Your numbers would require the AVERAGE Iranian car to get 36 miles per gallon in every day commute driving. Not much chance of that.
