Petrom introduces new names for the fuels sold throughout the network

  • The name change has no impact on fuels characteristics or their price

Starting with May 1, 2012, the gasoline and diesel fuels sold at Petrom filling stations in Romania change their names. The new names have been simplified in order to facilitate the fuelling process. Fuel composition, usage benefits and prices are not influenced by the change.

Radu Caprău, Retail Manager: "We will continue to offer our customers the same reliable fuels, at our Petrom stations – the most accessible filling stations network in Romania. The name change reflects the desire to meet the fuel market dynamics and requirements of our customers and to provide the same products and services at international standards".

Given the logistics specific to this action, the process of adopting the new names and labelling the pumps started with April 20 and will run until April 30, 2012.

  • Petrom fuel names valid with May 1, 2012, are the following:
  • Benzină Standard 95 (previously: Premium Unleaded 95)
  • Benzină Extra 99 (previously: Top Premium Unleaded 99+)
  • Motorină Standard (previously: Euro Diesel 5)
  • Motorină Extra (previously: Top Euro Diesel 5)
