Small refinery hit Wuhan gasoline market

In the past few days, Chen Zuqun, director of marketing division of Sinopec Hubei Petroleum Co., Ltd., is somewhat puzzled. According to past experience, gasoline sales in January and February each year will increase from the previous year. At the same time, due to the average monthly increase of about 6,000 cars in Wuhan since last year, ethanol gasoline sales should rise. But in the past two months, it has shown a significant decline. In December last year, Wuhan City's ethanol gasoline sales volume was 2.38 tons. In January this year, the sales volume was 22,000 tons, and sales in February were still declining.

Chen Zhu's incomprehension was broken down by the company's experts: The main reason was that ethanol gasoline was hit by minor refineries. It is understood that at present, Hubei Petroleum Branch has nearly 200 gas stations in Wuhan City, accounting for 70% of Wuhan's refined oil market.

To investigate the reasons for the decline in sales volume, Hubei Petroleum Branch recently extracted gasoline samples from five non-Sinopec and PetroChina-owned gas stations. The inspection found that one of them sold regular gasoline, while the others sold ethanol gasoline, but the ethanol content was obviously not in line with the standard. According to the technicians, it is not ruled out that some gas stations may mix regular gasoline and ethanol gasoline for sale.

The head of Hubei Provincial Alcohol Gasoline Promotion Office said that the promotion of ethanol gasoline is a national strategic decision. From December 31 last year, all petrol stations in nine cities in the province, including Wuhan, have stopped selling regular gasoline. In the current situation where the normal channels are all ethanol-gasoline, regular gasoline from a few gas stations can only come from some small oil refineries in the surrounding area, and quality is hard to guarantee. For many vehicle owners who believe that ethanol gasoline reduces vehicle power and increases fuel consumption, the person in charge said that tests have shown that using ethanol gasoline does not affect vehicle power and does not increase fuel consumption. However, some unscrupulous petrol stations catered to the psychology of a few car owners. In the improper pursuit of profit, there are still a large number of ordinary gasoline sales in the market, thus robbing the market of ethanol gasoline.

The person in charge reminded that since there are only a few gas stations operating ordinary gasoline and the oil sources are not stable, owners who like ordinary gasoline have to face the problem of the need to constantly change the type of gasoline, which will cause serious damage to the car.
