They indicate that the refinery was the largest identified source of petrol receipts during the month, although the supplied material does not state the volumes contributed by other suppliers.
The report also does not specify whether the refinery’s deliveries were made evenly throughout August or identify the destinations and distributors that received the fuel. It gives no information about petrol prices, retail availability or the refinery’s production capacity. The 71 per cent share refers to total receipts recorded for August, while the approximately 36 million litres is presented as the refinery’s daily supply during that period.
The available material does not state the precise number of days covered by the report or provide a comparison with earlier months.
