Mr Ayo Cardoso, Coordinator, South-West Region of NMDPRA, said on Tuesday in Lagos that petroleum products, particularly petrol, which has lighter end hydrocarbons when exposed to the atmosphere evaporates or dries up.

The NMDPRA coordinator said: “All imported fuels undergo comprehensive quality recertification and must be within acceptable limits in line with SON/NIS specifications before the vessels are allowed to discharge into our depots.

“The Research Octane Number(RON) which indicates the engine performance of all PMS imported are within specified minimum limit of 91.

“For PMS bought into the tanks of vehicles, there could be several causes for it to burn faster than usual.

“Low tyre pressure, dirty air filters, overloading, and poor driving habits are just a few of the many reasons why a car’s fuel economy is not efficient.

However, some residents of Lagos have raised concerns over the current petrol being dispensed in some filling stations.

Mrs Adenike Ayodele, a civil servant, said that fuel bought at a filling station in Ayobo-Ipaja was observed to have dried up faster than expected.

According to her, she bought petrol in jerry can and kept at home but when she wanted to turn it into the generator she observed that the quantity had reduced.

“l think the petrol currently sold in filling stations dry up faster than expected,” she said.

Also, Mrs Itohan Laserian also acknowledged that petrol bought at a filling station around Abeokuta Expressway did not last as expected.

“l bought fuel in my car and l noticed that it didn’t last longer as it used to be.

“Usually, such quantity of petrol takes me longer hours before refueling but this one was not up to the hours,” she said.
