i'm just curious. last night going home, passed at Macapagal Avenue. dahil medyo traffic, surveyed the cost of gas sa mga gasoline stations dun (Petron, Jetti ba yun and Shell).

while Petron's price is consistent with the prices within metro manila, yung shell and jetti, is almost 2 pesos lower, which causes motorists to go to their stations like ants. yung petron medyo nilalangaw eh.

my questions:

1. ano yun? palugi yung dealer? imagine selling fuel 2 pesos lower than the market price? i know that this is the beauty of a deregulated industry, pero maski na sabihin mong quantity is better, di kaya mas malaki lugi nila?
2. what does their mother company (shell), think about that?
3. if it can be done by one gas station, then other gas stations must be over pricing?
4. di naman kaya may daya yung pumps nila?
5. or di naman kaya may daya yung fuel quality nila? tingin ko hindi naman. dahil i had bought by gas there mga 5 times na, no significant changes naman sa takbo ng oto.

opinions on this are welcome...
