Shell, Seaoil, Unioil roll back gasoline prices by P1/liter

[JohnM]

(UPDATE) PILIPINAS Shell, Seaoil Petroleum Philippines Corp., and Unioil Petroleum Corp. will roll back gasoline prices by one peso per liter on Thursday, GMA Network's "Flash Report" said on the same day.

Shell and Seaoil will lower their prices at 2 p.m. while Unioil will adjust theirs at 6 p.m., the report said.

The three oil firms however will increase the cost of kerosene and diesel by 25 centavos per liter, the report said.

The report said the rollback was prompted by a reduction in the cost of crude in the world market.

Meanwhile, Petron Corp. adjusted its pump prices by fifty centavos per liter Thursday midnight, according to an earlier edition of "Flash Report."

Petron said this particular price increase would reflect the oil firms' costs in April.

For the past several fuel price increases, Petron had been among the last -- if not always the last -- to increase its prices.

Caltex Philippines and other new small players have not yet decided on the matter, the report said.

Malou Espina of Total Philippines Corp. was quoted as saying that officials from the company were set to decide on either increasing or reducing its prices.

Eastern Petroleum raised its pump prices by fifty centavos on Wednesday while Flying V dealers were advised to jack up their prices by around the same level at different times within the day.

In mid-April, local oil firms raised gasoline, diesel and kerosene prices by 75 centavos a liter. Shell, Caltex, and Total also raised the cost of cooking gas by 75 centavos a kilogram.

Petron followed suit only two weeks later, raising fuel pump prices by 50 centavos a liter and cooking gas prices by 50 centavos per kilogram.

As a result, some oil firms that had dealers situated near Petron service stations had to roll back prices by 25 centavos a liter to remain competitive.

huli kasi sila nag taas ng presyo.

on the contrary... mag tataas ang petron ng 0.50 centavos ata.

based naman kasi ang presyo nila sa cost of acquisition. kung mahal ang bili edi mahal ang benta.

[pissword]

[BongersVX200]

this morning i noticed on Petron (alabang) ang price nila ng unleaded ay nasa 31.54/liter , late afternoon yesterday while passing the same gasoline stn. nasa 31.04 pa eto.. nag taas ba ang petron kaninang madaling araw? o na malik-mata lang ako sa nakita kong price ng unleaded.. I always used Petron, dahil sila ang last na nag tataas, pero kung bumaba ang shell , dito na muna ako mag-papa refill..it's good na ni roll back nila ang presyo ng krudo...

Wala pang balita Petron.

[BlueBimmer]

malaki rin P1, pag nagpafillup ng 50L e P50 din un, 2 sanmig light hehe

[see16]

Sana lang matagal pa uli magtaas kasi wala ring kwenta kung ilang araw lang magtataas na naman. But indeed this is a good news.

[quiksie]

bakit ang diesel hindi kasama sa rollback? sana irollback nila ang diesel. Baka kasi sa future mas tumaas pa ang price ng diesel kesa sa gas

[zechs]

petron had the lowest price on gas last month (i think) actually, GMA even advertised/ordered (in a way) that the public should patronize petron since its partially owned by the government.

compared to gasoline, the price of diesel is kinda low pa, so they can't rollback the prices, actually a small oil firm increased its diesel pump prices pa nga eh (as of the news kanina)
