Rant #1 Petron Pasong Tamo Extension (Near Prestige)

[theveed]

2 weeks ago galing ako Mantrade, picked up my car and had to refuel since my needle was touching the last line sa gauge.

Usually, if I fill up with P500 in ANY station the gauge will reach a tad above the 1/4th line.

They fueled up, pag dating ko sa may Fort/McKinley, I realized that my gauge hasn't even touched the base line of the 1/4 line. Parang P300 lang kinarga.

I was thinking na baka low na talaga fuel ko kaya di umabot.

4 days after, I loaded up sa Petron near our place, the fuel gauge needle was actually lower than before... This time, the P500 (Extra padin yung kinarga) reached OVER the 1/4 line as it should be.

Grabe mandaya dun.

Ganyan din sa Petron Kapitolyo Pasig / Shaw Blvd.

Before, mga P1100++ lang ang full tank ko. Then nung sa kanila, umabot ng P1500++ ang full tank.

Kaya ngayon sa Petron EDSA na lang ako.

sobra naman wala sa calibration mga yan, kala ko ba may weekly inspection

When you gas up, tinitingnan mo ba yung meter nila? I know it's not 100% accurate, pero sometimes, it deters the boys over at the gas stations from cheating you.

Also, sometimes hindi accurate yung gauge, minsan akala mo nasa last line lang, pero actually it's much lower, kaya pagka-karga mo, hindi umabot sa 1/4.

Either way, I'll watch out for that gas station. ;)

Bry, as stated, the needle is actually HIGHER than my second refill. Besides, the discrepancy is too much, at least 3-5 liters of fuel was missing.

[Bry]

I agree. Just playing the devil's advocate.

ganyan din sa Petron Meycauayan (NLEX)
kapag kasi pauwi ako from manila always nasa 1/2 and tank ko kapag na full tank ako 1100 to 1200 pesos...pero nung isang araw sumombra ako at nag gas ako sa shell balagtas (NLEX) my needle was touching the 1/4 marker nung nag full tank ako guess what kung magkano ang pinayad ko...


1200

[theveed]

buti nalang 500 lang kinarga ko, kung nagpafulltank lalong grabe.

[theveed]

Kimp: Bad trip lalo yan! hehe

Petron FB Harrison near EDSA..

Alam ko ang Pajero Gen II nasa 85-90 Liters lang ang kaya ikarga. Correct me if I am wrong though.

Hindi pa umiilaw yung fuel gauge ko tapos kinarga nila 87 Liters. Wow.

[mrpink]

kaya sa shell ako nagpapa-karga .. 4% rebate kung may shell-mastercard ka pa ..

[FrankDrebin]

Madaya pala ang Petron. Hehehe.

[mbt]

magdala nalang tayo ng mga gallun-gallon na bote sa gasulinahan hehe

[yebo]

buti ganyan lang. yung caltex sa congressional corner cagayan street (yung tapat halos ng S&R) kaya sinarhan e minsan nagpa-full tank ako nasa 1/4 gage, bill ba naman e 40 liters daw. e 40 liters lang capacity ng tank at kabisado ko fuel gage ko! di na ko umulit dun. buti nga sinarahan sila, na-tv pa!

[falken]

Grabe na lokohan sa mga gas stations ah, kala ko ba may weekly inspection ng calibration ng pumps nila?

[gearspeed]

Hindi ko alam yun ah may mga madadaya pala na petron gas station..
Usually ako nagpapagas ako sa petron kamagong or sa petron filinvest alabang ok naman kahit wala rin calibrated na sticker nakalagay sa kanila

[theveed]

weekly lang naman eh, right after the calibration pwede mo naman ulit dayain.

[BlueBimmer]

naliliitan cguro may-ari ng station sa 10-20 cents na kita per liter hehe

[oldblue]

baka may tubig pa yan, ako iwas ako sa mga gasolinahan na dami nagpa-gas na jeepneys. ilan beses na kumatok makina ko dahil may halo-tubig ata.

[Altis123]

Di ba partly-owned by the government ang Petron?
