In January 2010 all 60 controlled samples of motor petrol and 15 samples of LPG passed criteria of the particular quality standard. Out of 75 controlled samples of diesel oils 6 did not meet the demands; in all these cases the defect was the inflammation point. The table makes clear that the comparison of 2009 results with the 2010 results shows the same level of quality of motor petrol and LPG, but in the motor oil a worsened quality was detected.

 

Results (in accordance with the kinds of fuels), including found defective criteria, are to be seen on the attachment nr. 1.

 

Overall data on fuel stations by who defects in fuels’ quality were found in January 2010 are to be seen in the attachment nr. 2.; it also shows values of defective quality indicators. Maximal admissible content of sulphur was not violated in any of the samples. All checked samples were sulphur free.

 

In January all controlled samples of motor petrol and LPG met the demands. Analyses of controlled samples proved violations of quality standards in 6 samples of motor oil. In January 4 % of samples did not meet the demands.
