Petron sells e10 premium gasoline
Petron Corp. recently said it has launched the
new Petron E10 Premium, a specially formulated unleaded gasoline
that meets and exceeds the requirements of the Philippine Biofuels
Law. Petron said the E10 Premium contains 10-percent fuel-grade
ethanol and 90-percent Petron Premium Unleaded Gasoline, which has
enhanced fuel additive that cleans engine deposits to deliver
improved performance and fuel economy.
Petron said the E10 Premium burns efficiently
and significantly reduces unburned hydrocarbons and other unwanted
emissions that contribute to air pollution and global warming.
“The use of ethanol as an additive lessens our
dependence on imported crude oil. At a time when fuel prices are at
an all-time high, I am sure consumers will appreciate that Petron
E10 Premium is cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline by about P2
per liter,” said Petron Reseller General Manager Ramon del
Rosario.
“Petron E10 Premium may be used for most
fuel-injected vehicles, whether old or new, without need for
expensive engine modification. However, we do recommend that
first-time users consult their car manual or car dealer,” said
Petron Technical General Manager Willy Toledo.
Petron said the E10 Premium may be mixed with
other unleaded gasoline at any time, except for vehicles that are
equipped with carburetors. Petron E10 Premium is also safe to
mix with E10 fuel from other brands. However, Petron said that
in order to maximize the benefits of the fuel, consistent use of
Petron E10 Premium is recommended as its special formulation is
designed to deliver better performance, enhanced fuel economy and
reduced tailpipe emissions.
The E10 Premium is offered at Petron service
stations in Visayas Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Shaw Boulevard, Marcos
Highway, Boni Avenue, San Marcelino, Osmeña Highway, Macapagal
Avenue, Dr. Santos Avenue, West Service Road, Circumferential Road
in Antipolo and Ortigas Extension in Taytay.

Bosch sustains double-digit growth
Bosch Automotive, the country’s largest
supplier of automotive technology parts in the after-market, will
sustain its double-digit growth this year through its 10 core
business fields in the Philippines, according to Bosch Automotive
Aftermarket General Manager Mustafa Sed at the company’s annual
news conference held on June 12.
“This growth projection is anchored on the
company’s confidence and commitment to the local after-market and
the strong performance of the country’s car industry,” said Sed.
In 2007, the Philippine automotive sector achieved a huge
improvement in sales by breaching the 117,000-unit benchmark—a
sales level that has not been surpassed since the Asian crisis in
1997.
This development creates a greater demand for
quality maintenance parts for the country’s growing vehicle
population, Bosch said.
“On average, monthly car sales stood at close
to 10,000 units. This translates into 10,000 potential automotive
customers that will need warranty and maintenance parts and
automotive diagnostics services in the near future,” said Sed.
Bosch is currently the world’s largest
supplier of automotive technology. Bosch also currently leads the
global after-market industry.
