What's With Shell Macapagal?

Buti hindi sila napagsasabihan ng oil company ;-) kasi this will definitely dry the well up for the other near by gas stations (of the same oil company)?

hindi ba kasama yung location basis dito? i mean usually pag malapit ka sa may port area mas mura?.

Kala ko pa nagkamali lang sila ng post ng presyo, mas mura nga pala.

dati akala ko diyan hindi ko inabutan ung pagtaas ng gas kasi hating gabi na un. nung dumating ako sa cavite mas mataas ung gas saka madaling araw na. so akala ko tumaas lang presyo non at nung nadaan ako sa macapagal hindi pa tumataas. un pala mura talaga sa kanila.

2pesos lower?deym!!

sana pagbukas ng shell commonwealth ganyan din pricing nila

Parati nga silang mababa. dati usually 50 cents lower compared sa iba. Ngayon 2 pesos na. Nagpapakarga din ako doon madalas, kahit medyo out of the way ng konti pauwi. Although mas madalas ako sa jetti. tingin ko jetti ang naghihila ng presyo ng shell pababa.

2 pesos cheaper?!!! Kahit medyo out of the way it would be worth it lalo na kung magpa-full tank ka. Makadaan nga.

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...

Im sure this is coz of the jetti oil near Shell Macapagal, Price War ang nagyayari dun.

Gross Margin/lt. ng isang gas station is no where near 2pesos basta shell, i dont know about the other brands. The dealer cant go that low if no help coming from the Mother Co. Pero syempre Price war, may losses ang co. dyan pero may benipisyo sa consumer. Motorist near that area or work near the area enjoy it till it last.

Nagtataka lang ako, if there is a price war why petron is not joining the war?
I will check the area tommorow.

How i wish this true. If this true i can afford to buy a latest model Range Rover tommorow but this is not true. Im sorry to disagree.

sa bagay, it really depends on the mother comapny's scheme of passing the products to their dealers/service station... kung * WPP or WPP less a certain discount. i retract my statement that they are making 6-7 pesos/liter. i was merely basing it on an estimeted landed cost to their receiving port based on current MOPS figures
