Although we
did not include bilingual signs in the creation of these indexes, and that situations
could arise whereby the signs we needed to observe were not present, what the creation of
index 1 really demonstrates, is that the use of Catalan in the signage of the fuel sector
is deficient: In half of the establishments, between 0 and less than 10 notices or signs
of the 22 we observed were written in Catalan. One in four establishments do not use use
Catalan in their signs.
