The GOIL difference: What’s really in your tank

By Kofi Ansah

Fuel quality is often simplified to a single number displayed on the pump – RON 91 or RON 95 for petrol, and, in the case of diesel, an implicit assumption that “diesel is diesel.” While these indicators are important, they represent only minimum combustion performance thresholds, not the full spectrum of fuel quality.

This distinction is particularly relevant in liberalised fuel markets, where multiple Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) supply products that may meet regulatory standards, yet deliver unequal real-world outcomes.

GOIL Fuels: Quality Designed Into Every Litre

GOIL PLC has deliberately built its fuel offering around quality by design rather than simply meeting minimum specifications. GOIL’s petrol (Super XP, Super XP RON 95) and diesel (Diesel XP ) are professionally additivated (XP3-enhanced).

This additivation gives GOIL fuels a measurable advantage. It improves fuel efficiency (offering longer mileage), reduces deposit build-up in injectors and valves, and promotes smoother engine operation.

GOIL’s quality advantage is further reinforced by strict handling and storage discipline that preserves fuel integrity from depot to station, preventing contamination and degradation.

Most importantly, GOIL backs its quality promise with two ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, state-of-the-art mobile fuel laboratories, strategically stationed in Southern and Northern Ghana. These labs conduct continuous fuel testing and verification across GOIL’s nationwide network, ensuring that every litre sold meets strict quality standards before it reaches customers.

Conclusion

Drivers may not talk in terms of chemistry, but they know what they experience with GOIL fuels in their tanks: better mileage, quieter engines, easier starting, and smoother driving. Over time, engines run cleaner and more efficiently.

GOIL’s commitment to advanced additivation, disciplined fuel management, and nationwide mobile laboratory testing ensures that its fuels go beyond meeting minimum standards to deliver superior, consistent, and dependable performance that motorists can trust.
