As we all know, the car is a fuel machine, if you use the car frequently, the owner of the car has to go to the gas station every three to five to refuel. When refueling cars, most car owners choose PetroChina or Sinopec because they are state-run gas stations, the price of gasoline is open and transparent, and the quality is more reassuring. But now there are many cottage gas stations on the market, and their names are very similar to two barrels of oil, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't detect it at all.
On December 29, a driver in Yushu, Jilin Province, broke the news that he often refueled at a local gas station and had added nearly 20,000 yuan of gasoline. The driver always thought that he was entering the petrol station of PetroChina, but when he went to the gas station to issue a ticket, he found that the gas station was called "Zhongwei Oil".
The owner of the car said that he was very angry, but he had no way to do anything, so he could only take a small video to complain. And the owner also said that one of the gas station's fuel dispensers also failed because of refueling.
As you can see from the owner's video, this gas station is the same color as PetroChina's gas station, the icon is similar, and even the name is very similar. If you don't pay attention, you won't even think that it is a gas station for the cottage.
There are many private gas stations that have come up with this "plagiarism" method in order to attract customers. They will imitate the door and interior furnishings of the gas station according to the "two barrels of oil", and the careless owners will find it difficult to distinguish their authenticity from the appearance. Some car owners said that they also have such gas stations in the local area, some called Zhongyuan Petroleum, and some called Zhongkuang Petroleum.
A car owner said that he had gone to a gas station called Zhongkuang Petroleum to refuel, and at that time he thought that the wind was too strong, and the words on the sign were blown off, and the gas station did not know about maintenance. After watching the owner's encounter, he suddenly realized that it was not that the wind was too strong to blow the words away, but that the gas station was originally called Zhongkuang Oil.
Now that the number of all gas stations is increasing, and the competition between them is becoming more and more fierce, they have to find ways to attract customers in order to make a profit. Some gas stations use price reductions to attract customers, and some use gifts and free car washes. Although the gas station has made concessions on the price, it has not borrowed the cottage method to confuse the public.
The gasoline sources at these cottage gas stations may be irregular, and adding to the car will cause damage to the car. What are the dangers of adding inferior gasoline to cars?
The impurities of inferior gasoline are often a large number of excesses, and these impurities will fill the entire oil supply system during use, blocking the oil pump filter, fuel filter, nozzle and other components.
There are more gums in inferior gasoline, which are difficult to burn, and they will be adsorbed in the inner wall cylinders of the engine, forming carbon deposits, resulting in increased fuel consumption of vehicles, and even damage to the oxygen sensor of the three-way catalytic converter.
Inferior gasoline will also damage the engine, some owners do not know that they have added inferior gasoline, when driving only to find that the exhaust pipe actually spit white foam, it does not take long for the engine to turn off, and it can not be fired again. Pulled to the repair shop to check only to find that the engine has broken.
According to Jimu News, the results of the 2020 Changchun Refined Oil Product Product Quality Supervision and Random Inspection Released by the Changchun Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau show that the No. 92 (E10) vehicle ethanol gasoline sold at the Zhongwei Gas Station in Yushu City was judged to be unqualified refined oil due to ethanol content and other organic oxygenated compound project indicators.
It is worth mentioning that there are not a few gas stations in the country with the name of "Zhongwei Oil". According to the judgment document network, a company called Haicheng Zhongwei Petroleum Sales Co., Ltd. was sued by China National Petroleum Corporation for trademark rights disputes.
In the end, the Intermediate People's Court of Dandong City, Liaoning Province, ruled in the first instance that the defendant Haicheng Zhongwei Petroleum Sales Co., Ltd. should immediately stop infringing the exclusive right to use the above three registered trademarks of PetroChina, and compensate the plaintiff for economic losses and other expenses totaling more than 160,000 yuan.

Everyone must pay attention to the fact that when you go to the gas station to refuel the car, pay attention to the name of the gas station before entering the gas station, confirm that it is PetroChina or Sinopec, and then go in to refuel, do not be blinded by these "word games" of the merchants.
