“European standard fuel (Euro 4) is highly environmental friendly. It will cause to rise efficiency of vehicles. The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation together with the Petroleum Resource Development Ministry are to introduce Euro 4 fuel in next month. In the first instance, we expect to introduce Euro 4 Petrol (Octane 95) and Super Diesel. It will affect the normal standard Petrol (Octane 95) and Super Diesel to leave the market.
