AMMAN — The Gas Station Owners Association (GSOA) on Saturday said that demand for gas cylinders rose up to 111,500 cylinders, which is 35,615 cylinders more than the daily average during September, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The Eid Al Adha holiday, which begins on Sunday and ends on Thursday, caused the increase. GSOA President Nahar Seidat said demand on fuel also increased by 7 per cent, noting that gas stations will be off during the first two days of the holiday, while distribution companies will be off only on the first day.
