Myanmar to Step Up Vehicle Fuel Rationing as Shortages Grow.

The article focuses on Myanmar's military government's implementation of a barcode and QR code system to ration fuel amid concerns of shortages exacerbated by the Middle East conflict. Starting next week, fuel purchases will be limited to once or twice weekly based on vehicle engine size, with barcodes on vehicle certificates used to regulate amounts. The shortage of jet fuel has caused several domestic airlines to suspend routes, and long queues at gas stations have become common due to rising prices and scarcity fears. The government is also promoting fuel conservation, including remote work for government employees and encouraging solar power use, while maintaining a 50-day fuel stockpile and seeking alternative import channels.
