Dapat pag may E10, sabihin nila may E10 na halo, misleading yun binalik ang xtra unleaded ng Petron tapos may halong E10 pala

That is not allowed, e-10 and unleaded gasoline should not be mixed.

Yung MAIN POINT ko lang naman is Wag lang sana lolokohin mga tao sa mga labels nila. Hindi naman lahat ng tao kasing updated natin sa mga issues about E10 e. Kung malinaw sa labels nila edi may choice na bumili ng fuel na walang halo E10 para d ma apekto ang kotse na di bagay sa fuel na ito. Ako nga alam ko na phaphase out naloko pako e. Napansin ko nalang parang hirap bigla yung kotse tapos pagtingin ko sa resibo "unleaded E10" pala.

yeah i guess you're right. if it's E10 blend it should be labeled as such. they are misleading the people. maybe their sales went down because a lot people doesn't want an e10 blend.

Yup, recently as I ran out of fuel, I went to the nearest gas station which happened to be Shell, to load up a few 95 octane fuel, until I get to my usual gas station. To my surprise, their V-Power was labeled with E10. I asked the attendant na E10 na ba yung velocity nila. Sabi niya sticker lang daw iyon, at pareho pa rin daw yung velocity kagaya ng dati. Did not risk it anymore, and went to the next gas station instead. Buti na lang umabot.

Petron does label its products properly. May prominent sticker just above the Unleaded pump, clearly stating na may halong Ethanol yung unleaded nila, and recommended for EFI engines. I should know, naka-Petron Fleetcard kami for almost 2 years na (dati kasi Shell), and I'm quite particular about the fuel I load in my cars.

Going by the thread title kasi, Petron did nothing wrong. There was no false advertisement.

Petron Shaw Blvd...is this the one sa may Wack-Wack? Not sure kung meron pa sa may bandang Kapitolyo which is Shaw Blvd pa rin yata.

The Petron in EDSA Greenhills also confused me. Initially when they phased out all the regular unleaded, there were green colored e10 stickers beside the label "xtra".

Last week when I gassed up, those green colored stickers were not present anymore but I looked around and there was a yellow sticker on top explaining that their unleaded fuel has ethanol blablabla.

I guess not a lot of people want e10.
