To put it in a language everyone can understand, the fuel world is undergoing a change. This change will affect the variety and pricing of fuels sold at gas stations. The institution behind the regulation is EMRA (Energy Market Regulatory Authority). So what does single price mean at gas stations?
Single price period at gas stations
With the decision taken by EMRA, the diversity of gasoline and diesel fuels sold at gas stations will decrease. Until now, stations were offering special fuels sold at higher prices under different names such as Ultra force, power, fuelsave, VMax, VPro.
These names were often marketed with the claim that the fuel improved performance or protected the engine. However, with the new regulation, the sale of such differently named and priced fuels will end. This means that from now on, only gasoline, diesel (diesel) and LPG will be sold at gas stations. These fuels will be offered at a single price.
The first brand to give up hydrogen fuel has been announced
Shell is closing hydrogen fueling stations. The company, which canceled seven stations in California, saw no future in hydrogen.
The main purpose of this regulation is to protect consumers and increase transparency in fuel purchases. Because special fuels sold under different names and prices could confuse consumers and in some cases cause them to pay more. In addition, this regulation aims to ensure competition on a more fair basis.
With the new regulation, only three basic fuel types will be sold at fuel stations: gasoline, diesel (diesel) and LPG. Each of these fuels will be offered to consumers at a single price. Thus, consumers will better understand what the product they will buy is and will not be confused when comparing prices.
