According to reporters' records in Can Tho City, most of the large gas stations on Nguyen Trai, 3 Thang 2, Tran Van Hoai streets..., the system of signs, pumps and brand identity have been completely changed with information about E10 gasoline.
To ensure that the official distribution day takes place smoothly, many businesses and gasoline and oil dealers in the area have proactively stopped importing more traditional mineral gasoline batches.
At the gas station on Tran Van Hoai - 30 Thang 4 street (Ninh Kieu ward), the buying and selling atmosphere on the morning of June 1st was bustling. Mr. Do Thanh Hoang (gas station staff) shared: "To have a practical experience of consulting customers, I myself have been running E10 gasoline for about a week now. The car operates smoothly, no difference compared to regular gasoline".
Also according to Mr. Hoang, in the first application session, the number of gasoline customers was quite large and most of them were happy to accept it. For customers who were still unfamiliar, gas station staff proactively explained and propagated about the benefits of biofuel.
As one of the first customers to experience E10 gasoline, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue (Can Tho City) expressed: "I know that today the city officially sells E10 gasoline in large quantities. I personally strongly support this policy. Amidst the increasingly harsh climate change and hot weather in Can Tho, using green fuel is an environmental protection action for future generations.
In general, according to representatives of gasoline and oil businesses in the locality, the widespread deployment of E10 bio-gasoline (a type of gasoline containing 10% bio-ethanol) is a strategic step to realize the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, diversifying fuel sources and contributing to environmental friendliness.
Besides environmental factors, consumers also place their expectations on the stability of the gasoline and oil market. Mr. Than Thanh Luan (Can Tho City) shared: "E10 gasoline gives a good driving feeling, the car runs smoothly. However, what I and many brothers are most concerned about is still the story of future prices.
Mr. Luan expects that, in addition to promoting the roadmap for greening traffic, there should be solutions to stabilize the cost of biofuel at a reasonable level. This will not only help people save travel costs but also directly support poor workers and drivers making a living on the streets to feel secure in their profession.
