Population shifts to public transportation: fuel consumption reduced in internal market
In January-July 2016 the consumption of oil products in the domestic market amounted to 1 million 912.7 tons.
As Turan was told in the government, compared to the same period last year, the domestic market consumption of petroleum products increased by 11.4% during the reported period. The petroleum products included motor gasoline - 30.3%, fuel oil (used mainly at Azerenergy) – 29.5%, diesel fuel – 22.6%, aircraft kerosene – 4.8%, petrol for chemical industry – 4.4%, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – 4%, etc.

As it can be seen from the table of the State Statistics Committee of Azerbaijan, in the first seven months of this year, the country's consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel fell by 11% and 14.9%, respectively. This indicates that the population in the current year began to save fuel, which means less use of personal vehicles. Significant growth in the consumption of liquefied gas is shown by the activity of the company Baku-Bus, whose buses use clean fuel. -12A--
