    Italian government approved a bill that will allow supermarkets to sell gasoline(5 liter container).This will avoid cheating(attn. gas dealers).Practical bill for consumers,as gas dealers(most of them),are wise enough to cheat on us!Try this formula in the Philippines.

    Hmmm, I can see it now:

    Regular gas:
    Caltex with Techron - buy one, take one

    Diet gas:
    Seaoil 93, now with 20% ethanol!

    Premium Blend:
    Petron Blaze, now 2 Octane higher! Cleans dishes, too!
    Shell V-Power, basketball trading cards inside each pack!

    Imported gas:
    Venezuelan Gold
    Brazilian Organic (warning! 85% ethanol! May not run on all engines)

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Gasoline in 5 liter containers? A little bit too dangerous for consumers, IMO. Here in the US, some Walmart, Costco and other companies that sell grocery items also have their own pump. This is much safer (containment of gasoline) than buying the fuel in those containers, a potential hazard to consumers.

    Plus, may sales tax pa yan, aside from road tax.

    I think the idea of having a pump at supermarkets is safer than selling 5 liter containers off the shelf. But, for the local setting, I wonder if this supermarkets-gas station tie up will be feasible.

    Almost half the stuff in the non-food section is either combustible or flammable anyway. hehehe.

    Sealed containers could lessen cheating but you can also buy gas from the gas station using your own measured containter if you are really having doubts about their pump. Wedco gasoline cans are selling for around Php300.00 at ACE Hardware.

    I agree,public safety first,selling gasoline in containers in supermarket might be risky.Maybe gas stations,could sell those stuffs(5 liter gasoline in containers),safest way.Popular tv program here in Italy conducted a test, by filling up a 10 lit container, result,8.25 lit filled for a 10 lit price.most gas station owners excuse was that technically inside the pump, air builds up,that's why pumping accuracy was affected.This why for me,better to buy in containers ,accurate quantity.

    I hope the containers can be reused sort of like those old Coke bottles we returned to the sari-sari store.

    matagal nang practise ito sa Pinas...
    suki nito yung mga tricycle driver na bumibili ng tingi sa suking tindahan, nakalagay sa mga softdrink glass bottles tapos diretso buhos sa tangke

    Dehins, Pepsi ung bote eh...hehe! joke
    Seriously, di ba delikado un coz mahirap linisin residue ng gas or other hard chemicals. Minsan nga may nakasabay ako sa gas station, dala nya yung 5-gallon bottle ng suking water refilling station. AFAIK, may number o limits kung ilan beses lang pede i-refill o i-recycle mga pet bottles.
