Park 80 West, Plaza Two, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 Phone (201) 556-0092 // Fax (201) 556-0097 August 6, 2007 Sherry Wilzig Izak Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Wilshire Enterprises, Inc. 1 Gateway Center 11-43 Raymond Plaza West ? 10th Floor Newark, NJ 07102 Dear Ms. Izak: Congratulations on management's victory in the recently completed proxy contest.We believe the primary reason management's slate was re-elected was that stockholders were impressed by your letter of July 3, 2007 in which you stated: "We are pleased to inform you that preliminary bids to acquire Wilshire Enterprises, Inc. have been received and that your Board is actively pursuing a transaction which will maximize stockholder value for all of our investors." Since our only interest is in maximizing the value of Wilshire's' stock price, we will be the first to congratulate you when a value maximizing transaction is announced. Hopefully, that will be soon. However, if a value maximizing transaction is not forthcoming, we will take whatever steps are necessary to protect our investment in Wilshire which may include commencing litigation or another proxy contest. Very truly yours, Andrew Dakos Managing Member Full Value Advisors LLP General Partner
