Minister: T&T now getting better fuel from Paria than it was getting from Petrotrin

Postby Duane 3NE 2NR » February 15th, 2019, 12:15 pm

Trade Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon says the country is getting higher quality fuel from Paria Fuel Trading Co Ltd (Paria Fuel) than it was receiving from Petrotrin before its closure.

Speaking to reporters after the launch of the fuel verification programme, at NP’s Munroe Road, Chaguanas, service station on Wednesday, Gopee-Scoon said the population had received superior fuel since Petrotrin’s closure and had not been “short-changed.”

All that and nothing in the article about what quality parameters they use and what were the previous and current values? Are we blindly trusting the word of politicians now? As someone with no inside knowledge of this issue, this article tells me nothing except that the Ministry of Trade in continuing with its PR campaign.

Diesel is definitely better. I find the premium lasting longer than super in my Vitara as well

But a fixed price came with fixed specs.
So by LAW the fuel could not vary from the standard.

But they selling our oil for over WTI .
So this fuel thing is suck eye for that type of magic

The mystery of fuel quality continues in this land.
One wonders what is the truth?

Even with my new short commute over the last 6 months I had to fill up once a week.
2 Saturdays I put in an injector cleaner and filled up. Today was the first time I filled up since, and the tank was roughly one third full.
