What's With Shell Macapagal?

[nugundam93]

kung nabasa ko lang sana ito kanina...nagpa-gas sana ako dun. oh well.

[jeanpierre]

Baka shell mismo ang may-ari ng gas station kaya they can afford that 2 pesos discount sa actual selling price.

[kapitan88]

regular ako dito karga 2x a week ako nagpapa full tank. dati ang price nila is less than 1 peso lang, pero lately napansin ko nga na umabot na sa 2pesos ang difference ng price nilang 2 (jetti/shell) compared with other stations. Yung velocity nila dati, is same price lang din with other stations, pero check ko mya pag daan ko, kung mas mababa na nga sa iba.

pag compute ko nga, sa isang full tank ko, i get 2 liters free.

[MAXBUWAYA]

ako sa jetti.

Freedom from the big three I say!

[hotwheels]

sayang, wala sa rota ko.

Dati operated by shell but now it is operated by a dealer na.

Price War nga sa Macapagal pero sa tingin ko Hindi magtatagal titigil din yan kasi abunado ang dealer pag may price war.

[falken]

Tamang tama, mapapadaan ako bukas diyan and less than 1/4 na tank ko.

IMO, it's a price war and Shell is also subsidizing the lower price along with the dealer. A dealer can usually complain to the Oil company if there is a competitor selling lower priced oil nearby.

45 liters of diesel last Saturday for my van. Everything's okay so far. Their price is cheaper by P1.80 vs. regular diesel price out there... Thanks for the tip!

Yes, it looks like price competition with the adjacent Jetti(?) gas station... The consumers are the winners here!

[squala]

I went there yesterday, but the price of Velocity is the same as my usual station at Katipunan (P39.40).

[moneywhiz]

baka nag taas na sila.....

[ssaloon]

yup, passed by there last sunday. mukhang price war lang on the unleaded (93 RON) grades. same lang sa area ang 95 RON. mas mura pa sa usual gas station ko sa petron morato.

baka nag taas na sila.....

nope. on my way home from the Makati Peeps EB last night, passed by and gassed by this station. normally i would gas up 1100 for a full tank that i usually use for 7 days. last night, spent only 920 for a full tank.

35.80/liter ang unleaded. dunno and have not noticed the velocity price though. ang rant ko lang is sobrang haba ng pila, and matagal ang approval ng credit cards, tsaka kokonti ang station attendants compared to the customers.

hindi kaya tsikoteers din yung mga nakapila? :D

ser HG, kelan lakad natin. ooopppss, wrong thread...sa makati pala dapat.

[mbt]

as far as i know, bawal yung ganyang underpricing. i think ipapasara ng shell yan kung malaman nila or some other penalty. may minimum selling price kasi na sineset ng head office

[larshell]

Hindi na ngayon bawal yan coz deregulated na yon oil industry but Shell dont encourage price war syempre may losses dyan.

[mbt]

policy ata ng oil company yan among franchise holders

[flakez]

dati may na tv diba, ung isang dealer ang baba ng benta niya. pinapasara nung mother company. hehehe. hindi ko lang alam kung anong company un. nagwawala ung dealer. hehehe

[seonadancing]

Sayang ang layo sa amin. The shell in Congressional near Pricesmart is selling unleaded gasoline for 50 cents less that the other shell station near Mindanao avenue. Sana 2 pesos din yun difference =)

[seonadancing]

I found out last week na nagbaba na din ng presyo yun shell sa may mindanao to match the price of the other shell near Pricesmart. unleaded is sold for 37.07 when it's sold for 37.37 everywhere else. E kaya naman pala ibaba yun presyo e, i think there's a price fixing going on among the gas station owners kasi bakit pare pareho yun mga presyo ng gas among all the gas stations when some can sell it for a lower price. Sure, the location can be one factor pero sa tingin ko may cartel din ang mga gas station owners e.
