Thai Prime Minister Denies Immediate Plans to Phase Out Gasohol 91 and 95
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has dismissed reports suggesting an imminent ban on Gasohol 91 and 95, stating that such transitions are long-term considerations.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has officially addressed recent speculation regarding the potential discontinuation of Gasohol 91 and 95 fuel types. Speaking to the media, the Prime Minister clarified that there are no immediate plans to remove these fuels from the market, characterizing any such transition as a matter for the future. The government is currently focused on encouraging a shift toward E20 fuel to help reduce environmental pollution, but this remains a strategic transition rather than an urgent policy change. The Prime Minister has instructed the Ministry of Energy to provide further clarity to the public regarding the compatibility of vehicles with E20 fuel. Additionally, he noted that discussions regarding the introduction of 'Green Plus' fuel have not yet taken place. For residents and travelers in Thailand, this announcement provides temporary certainty that current fuel options at service stations will remain available for the foreseeable future. While the government aims to promote cleaner energy alternatives, motorists do not need to adjust their refueling habits at this time. Further details regarding the long-term energy roadmap and potential future fuel standards remain to be confirmed by the Ministry of Energy.
