Denis Pilipishin, chief analyst at NTI Autonet Market, recommends refueling only at network stations operated by large companies. These stations maintain their own rigorous fuel quality control systems, which virtually eliminates violations in practice, according to the expert.
For the average driver, assessing gasoline quality by sight or smell is unreliable. A proper examination is required to determine fuel quality.
“The most reliable approach is to refuel at stations belonging to large network operators and to consult independent journalist reports that test gasoline in laboratories afterward”, Pilipishin advised.
