LIOC & Sinopec now cost Rs 20 more than CPC for Octane 95 — worth it?

From midnight on 25 October, Lanka IOC and Sinopec pushed their Octane 95 petrol up to Rs 495 a litre, while state-run Ceylon Petroleum held its Octane 95 at Rs 475. Octane 92, diesel and super diesel stayed unchanged at all three. So for the exact same grade, there's now a flat Rs 20 gap depending only on whose sign is on the canopy you pull into. Some drivers swear by LIOC and Sinopec — cleaner stations, shorter queues, and they say their engine just runs smoother, worth the extra for peace of mind. Others say it's the same imported fuel repackaged with better branding, and paying more for a private company's own pricing is just funding marketing when CPC's rate already reflects the real cost of the stuff. Have you actually noticed a mileage or performance difference between CPC and the private brands, or do you just fill up wherever the queue is shortest?
