here's an example........BP Introduces Powerful, Cleaner-Burning Petrol Thursday, 21 December 2000, 9:56 am Press Release: BP New Zealand 20 December 2000 New Zealand’s cleanest-burning and most powerful petrol, BP Ultimate, went on sale today at selected BP service stations. BP has launched the new fuel in Wellington and tomorrow it goes on sale in Auckland. It is priced the same as Premium Unleaded petrol ($1.06.9 as at today’s prices). The new petrol will help improve air quality being low in sulphur and with at least half the benzene found in other petrol sold in New Zealand. It also has the highest octane rating (at least 97.5) of any petrol available in New Zealand giving cars more power and smoother running. BP’s Managing Director Peter Griffiths said the new fuel will also be kinder on the wallet. “We estimate that some cars will run at least 3% more efficiently on BP Ultimate than on conventional petrol. Motorists using the new petrol will also directly help reduce New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.” Because cars run more efficiently, less carbon dioxide is emitted from the exhaust during driving. BP Ultimate would reduce New Zealand’s carbon dioxide emissions by about 6,000 tonnes each year if only 3% (about 60,000) of cars on our roads used the new fuel.
