Oh Mr. Vice president you are a disgrace to Ghana as a nation. Who made you the vice president of your organization? I hope they would be sorry for you when they read your comments and your advice to the government on how to handle this problem. Even JSS student will not suggest what you said to the government. In this modern world you want government to stop importation of some cars especially American ford or cars? A big shame onto you sir. You are those type of people who disgrace president Mahatma and making his government facing a lot of problems. Please resign from your position as a VP of your organization you are not competent to hold that position. If the drivers use wrong fuel, tell government to allow importers and distributors to supply all types of fuel into the system so that each brand of car uses what it fits for it rather than suggesting to the government to place ban on importation of such car. A man with little or NP knowledge in cars and fueling be a learner it will help you

They will not be sorry for him when they read his comments as they are equally ignorant like him.
I believe it is just a way of making it hard for the people importing such cars to make a living.
The guy just displayed his ignorance about cars and unfortunately he used American cars which he has no knowledge about.
We know in America nobody is restricted to which Research Octane Number you use for your cars,you can use 85,87 or 91 but this cars are still in good conditions but this ignorant guy instead of learning how that works invited an equally ignorant journalist to publish this crap here.
Sometimes when you buy a new car the dealership will advise you to use the high octane such as 91 but most people ignore it going for the lower one but that does not mean they were damaging their cars.

I wonder how these ignorant people get their positions in Ghana.

Problem is not about various vehicles not meeting fuel quality standards available on the Ghana market. Get the fuel importers & distributors to import good grade fuel & let an individual choose to source their vehicles as they see fit. Same crap with vehicles on the road being older than one's parents yet we penalize for bringing a car older than 10 yrs which is in better condition & shape than the resuscitated, antiquated, polluting death traps on the roads

Diesel fuel used to be thick, sea-blue in colour and used to last longer in a car.

But now what do we see? Diesel is even lighter that petrol, brown in colour and burns faster than even a rocket fuel. The odour is more like kerosene. We are filling our tanks with kerosene everyday. No wonder cars do not last as they should.

What happened to TOR. NDC is shamelessly fucking. These idiots are ripping the nation off with their bad policies. They are only interested in enriching party faithfuls.

It is largely the fuel adulteration in GHANA more the causes of frequent vehicle break downs than the standardising of petroleum used in the country.

Hey I feel sorry for this guy who is blaming the goverment for not enacting good laws to safe guard our cars from bad fuel. This law he is requesting wont solve the problem.
The solution is that until the NPA prevents the BDCs from selling sub-standards fuel to the OMCs for our markets, this will continue to bethere. We were not hearing this problem untill NPA started to manage our fuel for the market. I have friends working at TOR and they can confirm what am saying. Fuel from these BDCs are sub-standard mean it does not meet the Ghanain specification which is the RON 91.

I don't think the standard of fuel in our filing stations can course any
damages to High Tech. Vehicles likeTundras and F350s.

Can somebody educate us. Did this reporter actually get his facts right?
I thought fuel with octane no. higher than 91 is supposed to be premium fuel? When does your vehicle start "knocking"? Is it not when you use fuel of lower octane no. i/o premium fuel recommended by manufacturer. Even this, with modern vehicles fitted with knock detectors the slight reduction in performance is hardly noticeable. So if fuel sold in Gh has octane no. higher than 91 then the problem sholud be traced to adulteration by greedy fuel stations and not octane no.
