Newer, light-weight, more thermally efficient, more fuel efficient, more reliable, more durable, more smooth engines & low noise also require latest technology fuel.

It is a point of concern how everyone finds fault with the auto industry so easily and entire websites of blogs and forums are dedicated (rightfully so) to the purpose — however, the fuel-making industry consisting of state-owned enterprises as well as private-owned enterprises not only completely escapes any scrutiny, noone even thinks about it. Usually there is no mention of it. Even if we see various forums, the max people think about fuel is how much the petrol pump is stealing on volume. No more, no less.

When there is pakwheels.com, why isn’t there any pakfuels.com?
If there is carspiritpk.com, why isn’t there a parallel fuelspiritpk.com?
There is carpedia.pk, why no fuelpedia.pk?
There is autowheels.pk, why no autofuels.pk?
There is autodeals.pk, why no fueldeals.pk?
If there is automark.pk, why no fuelmark.pk?
There is allaboutcars.pk, why is there no allaboutfuels.pk?

We must remember that the fuels are not only used in cars, but a large quantity is consumed in power generation too, adding to pollution and diseases hence the impact of poor fuel choices is not limited to the transportation sector.

In Pakistan, the 5 fuel refineries (PRL, NRL, PARCO, BYCO, ATTOCK) are giving out Euro2 petrol. Four refineries are producing Euro2 diesel. One refinery NRL is finally selling Euro5 diesel. There is another ENAR Pterotech refining unit in Karachi West but there is no info on what it actually does.
Even this Euro2 fuel does not fulfill the specified octane #, so it is over-concentrated with forbidden harmful chemicals i.e. MMT to achieve the required octane #.

While the automakers are pathetic, pathetic, pathetic for keeping the Pakistani consumer backwards, they must be given the benefit of doubt in subsections related to selection and offering of latest engine tech. And partly to blame is the apathetic stakeholder attitude towards fuel quality, fuel technology and fuel chemistry.
