BAYFORD & CO LTD SLASHES LEADED PETROL PRICE


Bayford & Co Ltd, the only DTI-approved licence holder for leaded petrol in the UK, has been working hard this winter with their new blending partner, to increase efficiency within their blending and supply chain.

The result: a reduction in the price of leaded petrol by up to 65 pence per litre (£2.95 per gallon in old money) for leaded petrol in 2009 compared to 2008.

Jonathan Turner, an enthusiastic supporter and collector of veteran, vintage and classic cars and CEO of Bayford & Co Ltd said, "During the winter, we've focussed on ways to reduce the cost of leaded petrol for our customers. By increasing efficiencies throughout the blending and supply processes, we've managed to reduce the price by 25-35 pence per litre (ppl). When you add this saving to the current cheaper global price of fuel, approximately 20-30 ppl cheaper since its peak in the summer of 2008, it's a great time for retailers and customers alike to be buying leaded petrol."

Contrary to speculation last year that Bayford were going to stop the supply of leaded petrol in the UK, Turner says: "Bayford & Co Ltd are as committed as ever to our leaded petrol customers and will be equally so in the future. We believe it is important for Britain's motoring heritage that this fuel continues to be available. If nothing else, I keep getting a kicking from my mates on rallies and at the racing circuits about the price, so this'll keep 'em quiet!"

Jonathan's enthusiasm for the classic car industry is why Bayford applied for a licence from the EU to continue to supply the product, when all other oil companies were allowing leaded petrol to pass into history.

High Octane
Did you know that genuine leaded fuel has an average octane rating (ron) of 99.7

That means you can advance the timing and raise the compression ratio or turbo boost higher with leaded petrol than is possible with unleaded or LRP, without detonation. That equals more power from your engine. If you are involved in racing where seconds count, that could be the edge you are looking for.
