PSO launches environment friendly fuel in Punjab
KARACHI:
The Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has launched its environment and consumer-friendly E-10 fuel in Punjab.
The fuel will provide cost relief to inflation-stricken purchasers as it offers a saving of about Rs2.50 per litre compared to unleaded motor gasoline, the PSO announced in a press release.
It said the use of this eco-friendly fuel will also help Pakistan reduce its dependency on imported gasoline.
The E-10 fuel will be available at select pumps in all major cities and towns across Punjab including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Jhelum and Mirpur (Azad Kashmir).
PSO’s E-10 is a blend of ethanol and gasoline, which consists of 10 per cent ethanol dissolved in gasoline. It has been proven that the fuel produces less carbon mono-oxide.
According to a press release issued by the company, the high level of octane present in E-10 improves engine performance and prevents engine knock. The ethanol acts as a cleaner solvent and ensures longer life of the engine. Moreover, E-10 offers extra mileage.
