What is Jingyou gasoline?
2 Answers
Jingyou is a type of domestic crude oil, both it and PetroChina meet national standards. The differences between Jingyou and PetroChina: 1. Different refining processes: Jingyou mainly uses domestic crude oil, while PetroChina mostly uses imported crude oil. When refining fuel, PetroChina adds relatively better additives, which results in PetroChina's gasoline having stronger power, being more fuel-efficient, and causing less engine wear compared to Jingyou. 2. Pricing differences: To survive under the competitive pressure from Sinopec and PetroChina, Jingyou adopts the strategy of lowering oil prices to retain its customer base. Therefore, in terms of price, Jingyou is definitely much cheaper than PetroChina, offering low prices and high cost performance. 3. Different operational methods: As a private enterprise, China Jingyou has a smaller operational scope. In terms of the number of gas station service points, it is far behind PetroChina. So, in terms of refueling convenience, Jingyou cannot compare to PetroChina.
I've been driving a taxi in Beijing for nearly 20 years. 'Jing Oil' is our locally designated high-octane gasoline, created under Beijing's self-established emission standards like the Beijing VI norms. It's significantly purer than regular gasoline found elsewhere, with lower sulfur content, resulting in cleaner exhaust that helps reduce smog and makes the air less suffocating. The engine runs smoother with more stable acceleration, though fuel consumption remains largely unchanged—maybe slightly more expensive, but worth it. The government mandates all gas stations in Beijing to sell it; otherwise, vehicles won't pass annual inspections. I've noticed other cities like Shanghai also have their own standards, such as 'Hu Oil.' This trend is right—it benefits the health of children and the elderly, and long-term use even extends engine life. My mechanic friends say it reduces carbon buildup, saving both hassle and money. Overall, promoting this standard gasoline is a good move.
