Just one of the reasons all FastLane
Stores use Quality Phillips 66 / ConocoPhillips products.
HOUSTON, Oct. 7, 2004 --- ConocoPhillips
[NYSE:COP] is pleased to announce today that its gasoline has been
recognized as a "Top Tier Detergent Gasoline" by four
of the world's largest automakers -- BMW, General Motors (GM), Honda,
and Toyota.
The new Top Tier program was established by these
automakers as a voluntary program to identify oil companies who
provide the higher level of detergency that helps to prevent deposits
on intake values and fuel injectors. Top Tier Detergent Gasoline
requirements exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
minimum level of gasoline deposit control additive performance.
“This recognition reinforces ConocoPhillips'
commitment to the quality of our Phillips 66, Conoco and 76 gasoline,”
said Mark Harper, president, U.S. marketing for ConocoPhillips.
“We feel it will give our marketers and dealers a distinct
advantage in the market place.”
ConocoPhillips introduced Quality PROclean Gasolines earlier this
year, making the company’s gasoline among the highest quality
available in the market. The gasoline additive, which is available
in all three grades, already exceeded the Top Tier requirements
that were later established.
“We are pleased that the quality of our
gasoline has been backed up with this Top Tier recognition,”
Harper said. “It demonstrates our promise to consumers to
provide a high quality product that will help clean their engines
and reduce deposits. Cleaner burning fuels are environmentally friendlier
fuels.”
ConocoPhillips utilizes a network of marketers
and dealers operating approximately 13,300 outlets under the Phillips
66, Conoco and 76 brands. ConocoPhillips owns and operates approximately
330 retail sites and is the largest refiner in the United States
with crude oil processing capacity of approximately 2.2 million
barrels of oil per day.
ConocoPhillips is an integrated petroleum company
with interests around the world. For more information, go to www.conocophillips.com.
