NEW PETROLEUM PRODUCT INTRODUCED IN K'DUA (PAGE 50)

Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua

SUPER PLUS Ron 96, a high quality performance fuel that enables motorists to cover more distance than premium petrol, gas or gas oil, has been introduced in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua.
The new product, popularly known as green petrol, which is also suitable for old cars (240,000km) is currently only available at Total Two and Three filling stations in Koforidua.
Although it had been available on the market for the past few days, it has now gained the confidence of motorists, most of who throng the two filling stations daily to fill their vehicles.
In an interview, the Manager of the two filling stations, Mr Isaac Brewu, said he decided to go in for that type of fuel due to its high performance which maked it possible for users to cover longer distances than those relying on other petroleum products such as premium petrol, gas oil or gas.
To facilitate the sale of the product, Mr Brewu said a tom card that worked like an ATM had been installed at both Total Two and Three filling stations and that one could be served without paying cash.
This novelty is gradually gaining popularity in Koforidua as more motorists are now shifting to Super Plus Ron 96.
Kwame Gyamfi, a long distance driver, said he had decided to use Super Plus Ron, which was more economical than other types of petroleum products.
In another development, the management of the two filling stations have started awarding prizes to motorists who patronise their services.
The prizes, made up of television sets, ghetto blasters, fans, T-shirts and free fuel, were presented to deserving motorists at an impressive ceremony which was attended by the New Juaben Municipal Chief Executive, Nana Adjei Boateng, who advised drivers to be conversant with motor traffic regulations.
