Announcement of E10 gasoline selling price from August 1

(Dan Tri) - From tomorrow (August 1), E10 gasoline will officially be sold on a pilot basis in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong at 19,600 VND/liter, 240 VND/liter cheaper than RON 95 mineral gasoline.

From tomorrow (August 1), the two largest petroleum enterprises in the country, Vietnam National Petroleum Group ( Petrolimex ) and Vietnam Oil Corporation (PV Oil), said they will pilot the sale of E10 gasoline in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong.

Petrolimex will pilot the sale of E10 gasoline at 36 gas stations in Ho Chi Minh City (before the merger). PV Oil will pilot the sale of this gasoline at 4 gas stations in Hanoi and 2 in Hai Phong. The gas stations selected to pilot the sale of E10 RON 95 gasoline will stop selling E5 RON 92 gasoline.

After the gasoline price adjustment on July 31, the two above units will also announce the retail price of E10 gasoline from August 1. Specifically, the selling price of E10 RON 95 gasoline is 19,600 VND/liter, cheaper than RON 95-III mineral gasoline (the popular gasoline type on the market) by 240 VND/liter. However, this type of gasoline is more expensive than E5 RON 92 gasoline by 200 VND/liter.

According to Dan Tri reporter, on July 31, some PV Oil gas stations in Hanoi selected to pilot the sale of E10 gasoline have completed preparations and are ready to start operating from August 1. The selected pilot stations have all reused E5 gas pumps and replaced their signs and put up new nameplates.

Mr. Cao Hoai Duong, Chairman of PV Oil Board of Directors, said that the company has long invested in biofuel blending facilities in warehouses, including both main warehouses and transit warehouses. With the Party and State's policy on the use of biofuels, it is expected to completely replace mineral gasoline with E10 gasoline.

E10 gasoline is a finished gasoline blended from mineral gasoline derived from fossil fuels along with biofuels, in which fuel alcohol is blended in a certain ratio.

According to domestic and international studies, ethanol has a high oxygen content, which helps improve the combustion process of the fuel mixture; thanks to that, E10 gasoline can help reduce Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions by up to 20% compared to traditional mineral gasoline.

Reduced emissions mean reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Not only is it beneficial to the environment, E10 is also considered an engine-friendly fuel.
