New brand ‘E-10’ petrol to be launched next week in Lahore
LAHORE: Pakistan State Oil (PSO) would be introducing its new brand E-10 of petrol next week here.
Following Islamabad, E-10 petrol scheduled to be launched in Karachi this week was put off for sometime due to the stagnant rainwater that afflicted different parts of the city, but now this brand would be introduced first in Lahore, PSO officials told.
PSO officials further told that the arrangement for 25 vehicles has been made in Lahore as well like Islamabad. They said that initially 10 percent ethanol was being mixed in E-10 and this trial project would continue for six months.
E-10 would be cheaper by Rs1.50 per litre than the existing petrol price and the ethanol content would be increased to 20 percent in case of its getting a hit in the market, but some change would have to be brought down into the vehicles for using 20 percent ethanol mix petrol.
