    Which probably explains why i suspect to be getting inconsistent fuel consumption with some gas stations (using XCS). I still have to observe further though as my driving conditions are quite varying so i cannot gauge it well enough.

    Dont refill in Petron gas stations where jeepneys refill. The best places to refill are Petron White Plains, Petron San Miguel, and shell forbes.

    Wala ng iba or at least in mu route, why? Kase thr people who live in these areas have enough lobbying power to close the gadoline stations if they do f&3& up

    My CRV just reached the 300km + odo on a P2000 refill or 37 liter load. i refill at 2 K to get 3% Petron 3% rebate plus the BpI promo for Pizza Hut now Chowking. If it ends at 330km, then halos 9km/liter na ako for all city, and I refilled last August pa

    Tipid noh

    I started gassing up at Petron White Plains recently and that's one of the stations where i seem to be able to get slightly better FC as when i compare it to what i get when i gas up at Petron near Miriam College (usually around 0.5-1km/L better it seems). Just need to do a few more tank ups to establish any semblance of consistency.

    I tried some stations (Shell and Petron) in areas that sell slightly cheaper (i.e. Shaw Blvd and Mindanao Ave) and it seems the fuel gauge goes down faster.

    Sir, mukhang mahirap ata ito kasi sa kahit anong gasoline station, may jeepney na magpapa gas up lalo kung rota nila un. Kaya walang nagpapa gas up sa mga gas stations na nabanggit mo, except Shell Forbes, may jeepney station ata doon, kasi wala naman atang jeep na dumadaan diyan so wala talagang mag papa gas up na jeepney diyan.

    wala ka na talaga maggawa, these stations can tamper with fuel na major market nila eh PUV, kse na parati refill yun. If you own Montero or other high end cars, kawawa ka sa mga yan

    and from what I heard, since halos malapit na presyo ng LPg sa gasoline, so yun titirahin na din nila ang dirty gasoline for the taxis.

    -----

    Yun nga sa shell dyan sa Fort with starbucks and jollibee, gago din yan. Nag-refill yan sa kin ng dirty fuel, kumatok makina ko for the entire duration of the refill, considering BGC area na yan.

    be very very vigilant, tumitira na talaga mga gasolinahan ngaun. yun sa Shell sa harap Meralco as well as yun Shell sa tiendesitas, same owner accdg sa recipt, grabe ang suffer ng FC when I refill at those places.

    Actually, na-mention na yan conspiracy ng Shell card rebate and shell stations. Kse nga naman pag may shell card ka, kahit san shell ka!- refill coz of discounts, pero madumi talaga fuel ng Shell, Petron is better but selected places only.

    ask mo dad ni *SG, lalo sila yumayaman sa shell eh kasi nga syempre pag low fc lagi refill hence, repeat sales. Kita talaga, tamo si si *Sg dami SuV nyan lol

    Regarding rust, wala akong naaalala na may nagchecheck. Ewan ko lang kung nag check sila before namin kunin noon yung station.

    Pero nung paalis na kami, they need to pull out the remaining fuels inside the underground tank for rebate.
    Nung una, sobrang linis ng fuel. Pero nung paubos na, kitang kita mo na yung latak. More or less, mga 200L remaining fuel nalang yun. Meron din namang kasi silang safety feature na kapag below 1000 liters nalang natira sa tank, auto shut off na agad yung fuel pumps. The only way para gumana uli yun is magpa deliver uli ng fuel.
    Ah ok. That's good to know. May buffer siya na 1000L.

    babynos, I have a question too.

    How about if the gas station was flooded? And assuming that the tank was contaminated. What are the procedures then?

    Ang alam ko they measure the contents of the tank first. Then they use water finding paste to check for water.

    Yup. water finding paste. Meron pa ata dito sa bahay e.
    Pero yung amin, kahit may bagyo and bumaha sa tapat(barado drainage) hindi naman pinasok yung tank.
