Comparing WTP and Rationtioning Energy Policies for Gazoline and Dual-Consumption Automobiles in Mashhad

Pricing and rationing policies for controlling energy consumption are important factors in resisting economies. For this end we have compared Willingness to Pay and rationing policies enacted for different gasoline and dual consumption automobiles، to see statistically، (1) Whether there is any difference between their energy usage and WTP? (2) Whether there is any difference between energy volume rationed between different kinds of automobiles، and their WTP? Discovering endusers’ willingness to pay a questionnaire is designed، and based on sampling 200 questionares are distributed among gasoline and dual consumption consumers of different automobiles in Mashhad city randomly. In this study، Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is used to investigate willingness to pay for gasoline consumption that is based on energy policies experienced in Mashhad in 2008. Descriptive Method is used to describe the energy space situation in the public; and nonparametric statistical tests have been used to provide some explanations for research questions. Results indicate that، (1) there is statistically significance between energy consumption (gasoline and gaz)، and WTP; so different pricing policies is desireable; (2) there is not any statistially significance between WTP rationing volumes provided for different automobiles; and WTP; so pricing policies should be the same for all kinds of automobiles.
