NP's Gas up to win.

[S_2NR]

Stoppd fulling at NP on the whole. Their gas finishing too fast. Unipet for it now

[bluestarz9]

seriously NP is overdoing it, dont know if its the gas or the pump calibrating. but Unipet for it

[SUPAstarr]

Moar free stuff for me, 20 in free gas. I have seen do difference in consumption. Still use 200 in premium every 2 days

[Habit7]

I just got $10 free

But you all know that Unipet just sells over NP fuel right? The effect of double filtration is debatable.

men swear by this double filtration yet nothing concrete says it makes a significant difference to the gas they getting from np.

Peace of mind yo.
Far more np service stations are known for dispensing "bad gas" than unipet stations.

[crazybalhead]

Last three fillups, $200 PLUS, NO CARD FOR ME!

Peace of mind yo.

how many unipet stations it have compared to np? Or it could also be that more persons buy at np.. Statistics is a hell of a thing and without all of it dunno how you getting peace of mind. Unless something concrete comes out it sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.

That said if i has a van that was diesel I may become a little less cynical.

[Hook]

I hear you, but for the lay person, experience with one's own vehicle counts for a lot. We're not a nation of statisticians and petroleum scientists.

If in someone's personal experience, the few Unipet stations they use, have never given them "bad gas", as opposed to getting poor quality fuel from one or more NP stations, then they're going to stay away from the one that gives them grief.

It might be unfounded, it might simply be because the Unipet stations are newer, but as a matter of preference, for "peace of mind", people are going to patronize the Unipet stations because the end justifies the means.

WHAT ABOUT THEM CHICKS WASHING WINDSCREEN FOR NP!!! ALLYUH EH FINE DEY BESS?!?!?!?

On average my car used to get 300 - 320km every 37 liters of gas ($100 super in city traffic driving ) now it gets about 250 - 270 for the same amount of gas for the same type of driving on the same routes. Cleaned injectors - the works and yet getting the same usage. I fuel at many of the more reputable NP gas stations yet the same results. I thought it was only me but now reading this thread it seems to be a bigger problem. I don't think its a calibration problem because $100 physically fulls my tank from 1/4 tank (pump handle starts to click etc) so it must be the blending (?). Again, the fact many of you are noticing this and it is not a single gas station's problem indicates that the main supply is at fault........... Will try Unipet but seeing that they get the same gas as NP it is not looking good - have you noticed a difference S_2NR?

How do we as a third world consumers address this?

[RBphoto]

Bhai I swear I see dem by the roundabout by petrotrin Thursday lunchtime!!! as part of the gas up to win promotion, one by every pump.... nobody want to believe me cause they doh fullup dey and everybody want to full up in stoosh gas station... I wouldah tek ah pic, nut no phones allowed man.... Allyuh who mising out eh... me eh care who doh believe meh... going to fullup premium gas in my Tiida and see if I "pulleen" oneahdem.... dey look like the type I can easily explain away the baby on board sign and the infant seat in the back.

Good question, I have noticed it also. I have been zeroing my counters everytime I fill up for many years now, and it happened all of a sudden. From 325-375kms a tank to less than 300. I don't get it.

[wagonrunner]

hmm. i got 400-450 per tank ($105-115) when i was highway everday. I reset trip every single time.
it went down to 350-375 with my changes in route for the last year or so( for the same dollar figure).

I'm still getting that.
a tank of NP is always over 350. (will throw in i suspect my fuel pump is not operating as well as it should, affecting top end and other fyahz).

[rollingstock]

I usually get approx 25mpg NP or Unipet, since the promotion that has dropped to 22mpg, but i still get 25mpg using Unipet gas, which is hard to explain seeing it is basically the same fuel.

But using premium that 3 mpg is a big difference, will be filling with Unipet.

[hydroep]

Actually I've got to agree with those who say they're seeing a drop in mileage. I made a run up to Trincity from San'do yesterday and the car took about $32.00 as opposed to approximately $ 25.00 for the same run. Throttle response was lethargic similar in effect to an overly retarded ignition.

like any other business. know your providers.

A service station in Fyzabad has been shut down pending an investigation into allegations that a low-density mixture of fuel was being pumped into customers' vehicles, which can lead to engine malfunction.
And Ministry of Energy officials have discovered an alleged fuel blending plant hidden behind a bar in South Oropouche.
The owner of the service station has been accused of illegally mixing the fuel with condensate and selling it to customers.
Illegal diesel tanks and piping were also seized from the service station.
Ministry officials have sent an e-mail to National Petroleum (NP) Limited chief executive officer Neil Gosine, stating that they have reason to believe that road tanker wagons were delivering condensate to the owners of a service station in Fyzabad as well as another service station in San Fernando.
The senior Ministry officials have expressed concern that there may be other illegal blending plants in the country.
The Express learned that ministry officials have been monitoring the service station since Wednesday.
Officials said they found it suspicious that the door to the washroom was padlocked and workers were reluctant to open it.
Storage containers, pipelines and black market diesel for resale were allegedly discovered on the premises.
Ministry officials said the condensate allegedly found would be tested at NP's laboratory.
The results will determine whether the service station will be shut down indefinitely.
"When half-litre of condensate is mixed with half-litre of gasolene it will stretch the gas, but the colour and smell would remain the same," the Express was told.
The Express was told that condensate is used to stretch premium and super gasoline.
But the "cheap" fuel can cause mechanical malfunctions in vehicles, it was learned.
A report on the findings was sent to Minister of Energy Kevin Ramnarine. Ministry officials have also searched another service station in San Fernando, suspected of selling condensate fuel to customers.
