Fuel From Gas Stations In Nigeria Can Trigger Several Dashboard Warning Lights – Segun

Today may certainly not be the first time you’ll hear most Nigerian gas stations sell low quality fuel. Segun, a Twitter, couldn’t agree less. He’s of the opinion that bad fuel alone can trigger a lot of dashboard lights in your car.

According to our findings from Vanguard, major oil companies extract and export up to 2m barrels a day of high quality, low sulphur “Bonny Light” crude from the Niger delta.

All these can cause performance related problems in cars and in extreme cases, it can damage the vehicle totally.
