E10 from June 1: Gas Stations Must Sell It, You Don't Have to Buy It
Millions of vehicle owners are worried after headlines declared 'mandatory E10 use from June 1.' Circular 50/2025/TT-BCT actually only binds gas stations; consumers can still choose E5 until end of 2030, and the real risk for BSR, PLX, and OIL isn't engine damage.

BSR Escaped Hormuz. Nghi Son Is Still Exposed.
