Give u an example, the BMW M60 V8, which is notoriously sensitive to Sulphur in petrol, suffered big engine problems on cars with HK/PRC plates whereas no such problems were found on HK-only cars.

The fuel quality issues I mentioned earlier only applies if Sinopec or PetroChina dominates the whole market instead of the Western guys. U must remember the LPG taxi stalling fiasco which happened earlier...........

Because of cost issue?
