New Year to see end of 91-octane petrol
Play
From January 1 onwards, fuel stations nationwide will stop selling 91-octane petrol, which will force owners of 500,000 vehicles and 500,000 motorcycles either to retrofit their engines or switch to 95-octane petrol.
Energy Minister Arak Chonlatanon said Thursday that the decision would boost gasohol sales by 8 million litres a day, prompting demand for 800,000 litres more ethanol per day. This is in line with the government’s policy to rely more on locally sourced energy and boost farmers’ income.
