Sri Lanka today will officially launch the 100 Octane premium petrol, known as XP100 rating fuel.
The premium petrol is to be launched under the patronage of Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera, the Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, and the Chairman of the Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC).
According to LIOC, the 100 Octane premium petrol will be introduced at the Ninewells LIOC Filling Station on Kirimandala Road in Narahenpita today.
The 100 Octane premium petrol is produced using high-octane gasoline produced through Octamax, an indigenously developed technology by Indian Oil’s R&D Centre.
The fuel helps enhance the performance of vehicles, particularly high-end luxury cars and bikes.
According to the LIOC, the price of a litre of fuel will be much higher than that of ordinary fuel products.
The LIOC further states that the XP100 provides faster acceleration, smoother drivability, enhanced fuel economy, lower engine deposits and a significant reduction in emissions in the high compression ratio engine.
It results in boosting vehicle performance and longer engine life, hence lower maintenance.
The official launch of the 100 Octane premium petrol makes Sri Lanka the 08th country with this type of fuel. (Newswire)
