Return of cheapest grade petrol
By Christopher Tan
CALTEX has reintroduced 92-octane, the cheapest grade of petrol, at its pumps here in response to the economic downturn.
This grade of petrol, which disappeared from its stations in 2000, is now back at the pumps at its Pasir Panjang, Bukit Merah and Alexandra stations. All 33 stations of the smallest oil company here will have it by March 24.
Not only that, Caltex is pricing its 92-octane at $1.536 a litre before discount - 2.2 cents lower than its rivals, making it the cheapest petrol here.
