Now more and more families have their own vehicles, with more and more vehicles, there are also more and more gas stations to meet the needs of the majority of car owners. The gas stations in the city are mainly Sinopec and PetroChina, and there are many private small gas stations around the city and next to the national highway. The prices of PetroChina and Sinopec are regulated and controlled by the state, and are in line with international crude oil prices. Whereas, the prices of private gas stations are relatively cheap, and the price of each gas station also varies. In addition to small gas stations with their own names and brands, there are also some cottage gas stations, you must be careful before refueling, do not find out that you have been fooled after filling up with fuel.
The names of these cottage gas stations are very similar to PetroChina, only one word apart, and the word difference is also very similar. If you don't look closely, it's very easy to be fooled and mistakenly think that this is the regular PetroChina. For example, their names are: "Zhongwei Petroleum", "Shenguo Right Oil", "Zhonggu Petroleum", "Zhongkou Petroleum", "China Right Oil", "Zhongkuang Petroleum" and so on. Some are still making a fuss about Chinese characters, and when they are written, they are deliberately written wrongly, and the bottom of the mouth is not sealed, which is not a Chinese character at all, but it is very similar to the middle. And when writing the country, remove the dots inside, this is not a modern Chinese character, but it is very similar to the country, even if you look closely, you may not be able to see it. Just look at these names, is it enough to confuse the driver's sight, generally few people will stare at the name of the gas station carefully, even if you see, for example, the country is a little less, the country is written as Kuang, many drivers still think that this is a long time, this word has dropped a part, and will not suspect that it is intentional.
In addition to the similar names, their main colors and logos are also very similar, with red background and yellow stripes. From a distance, this is definitely a regular PetroChina. If you are not familiar with this from out of town, and you just need to refuel, there is a high probability that you will drive in directly to refuel. And if you don't issue an invoice, you may never know that you didn't add PetroChina gasoline, and you won't know that you have been fooled. I heard that someone was fooled and refueled several cars at this kind of gas station, only to find out that it was not PetroChina, and one car was also broken.
This kind of gas station is using PetroChina's brand and reputation to attract those who don't pay attention to the car owner to refuel. Many people are like this, and they may go to some small gas stations in their local area to refuel, because they also know its oil after a long time. But if you go out by car, the vast majority of people will choose a large state-owned gas station like PetroChina, the quality is guaranteed, even if it is a little expensive, there will be no problems on the way. And these copycat gas stations take advantage of this, imitating a Chinese oil to attract more people to refuel.
First of all, there may be a problem with the quality of the oil products, according to normal thinking, even the name and LOGO of the gas station are opportunistic, and the gas station that intercepts the flow of the gas station has a greater probability of bad oil, and it is better to use the gas station with its own name and LOGO. These gas stations are basically distributed in remote areas, and there are more in rural areas, which use their names to attract vehicles from other places, and do not do repeat business, so the control of oil products may not be so good. Secondly, there may be a shortage of catties and two, it is not uncommon for a fuel dispenser to do tricks and feet, and it is often heard that a 50-liter fuel tank is filled with more than 50 liters of gasoline, and it turns out that it is not all used up. Finally, they will also induce you to consume through various means, such as forced sales of fuel additives, etc., and those who don't know much about cars and cherish cars are often fooled.
This kind of gas station does not mean that it must have a problem, but the probability of a problem is much greater, we must not be greedy for cheap to refuel, once there is a real problem will outweigh the loss. A friend once added oil with bad oil once, but the car could only run at a maximum speed of 80km/h, and the acceleration was weak. Usually, the degree of oil deficiency will not be so large, and there will often only be shaking, power dropping, fault lights and other phenomena. Prolonged use can lead to increased carbon deposits and even damage to the engine. The quality of the oil has a great impact on the life of the engine, so no matter where you refuel, you must not be careless, and it is best to go to a regular gas station. Especially in remote areas, you must be optimistic about it and then go in to refuel.
