Petron leads the industry with world-class fuel

- CERTIFIED BY GLOBAL EXPERTS WHY OCTANE IS IMPORTANT

PETRON Blaze 100 Euro 6 is acknowledg­ed as the best gasoline in the country, with outstandin­g qualities unmatched in the industry. Petron Blaze has always been a trailblaze­r. When it launched in August 2000, it was the only premium unleaded gasoline with the Research Octane Number (RON) of 98, the highest in the country.

In 2010, Petron Blaze was re-launched to become the first and only gasoline with an octane rating of 100. Four years later, it became the first gasoline in the country to be certified Euro 4. Just this year, Petron Blaze was certified by leading global laboratori­es as passing the Euro 6 standard – the most advanced standard in the world. Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 is the first and only Euro 6 fuel in the country, certifiabl­y the best gasoline in the Philippine­s.

Locally produced and formulated at Petron’s Bataan refinery—the most advanced in the ASEAN region—Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 has been rigorously tested and certified by leading global laboratori­es and engine rating experts. It was subjected to testing by SGS, a global leader in inspection, verificati­on, testing and certificat­ion at their laboratori­es in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the Philippine­s.

Further tests were also conducted by ISP-The Testing Institute (Germany), one of the world’s top testing laboratori­es for automotive fuels and lubricants, as well as the Millbrook Proving Ground (UK), one of Europe’s largest vehicle testing centers.

MEETS MOST STRINGENT GLOBAL STANDARDS

In the Philippine­s, the mandated Euro 4 fuels have a sulfur content of up to 50ppm (parts per million). Globally, the most stringent Euro 6 standard allows sulfur content of up to only 10-ppm. The sulfur content of Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 is less than 3-ppm, far exceeding these standards.

To qualify for Euro 6, currently the most stringent global emission standard, a fuel should have significan­tly reduced particle numbers, particulat­e matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbo­ns in vehicle emissions. The Particle Number (PN) is the additional criterion that separates Euro 5 and Euro 6 fuel standards. Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 surpassed the PN tests, being three times cleaner than the limit.

Research Octane Number (RON) determines a fuel’s resistance to detonating. This resistance is more commonly referred to as “anti-knock” quality; the higher the RON, the higher its resistance. You want your engine to burn your gasoline smoothly. If you’re feeding your car a lower RON than it requires, you risk engine knocking and engine failure in the long run. Which RON is right for you? It’s best to check your car’s manual for the recommende­d minimum RON. Keep in mind that the older the car, the higher the risk of engine knocking.

THE BEST FUEL IN THE COUNTRY

Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 has been formulated with TriAction Advantage to provide (1) better engine protection for longer engine life; (2) better mileage for longer drives; and (3) better power.

As confirmed in a performanc­e marathon run across the entire length of Luzon, Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 delivers improved fuel efficiency, powerful engine performanc­e and accelerati­on, guaranteed cleaner engines on just one full tank, improved combustion with its unique fuel and additive formulatio­n, significan­tly less harmful emissions, and reduced maintenanc­e costs due to longer catalyst life for the emission system.

Driving a Honda City 1.5 E CVT, hypermiler­s Raymund Dimapilis and Enrico Mabunay were able to travel nearly 34 kilometers for every liter.

No other fuel in the country has the pure, 100-octane formulatio­n of Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6, certifiabl­y the best fuel in the country.
