Eastern and Unioil offer Euro 4 diesel

Independent oil players Eastern Petroleum Corp. and Unioil Philippines Inc. are challenging the Philippines’ oil giants to follow their lead and offer higher quality and cleaner Euro 4 diesel fuel products at regular prices. The two firms have jointly launched in their Metro Manila retail stations the first ever Euro 4 diesel fuel products in the country. Euro 4 products will be sold at Eastern’s 25 stations at no extra cost and Unioil will offer the products in 25 of its stations in Metro Manila. Some 40 million liters of Euro 4 products will be imported every month, both companies said. (February 21, 2011)
