Rant #1 Petron Pasong Tamo Extension (Near Prestige)

[theveed]

The company, yes, the stations iba iba, may privately owned, my company owned.

[zechs]

petron corp. is 40% owned by the gov't. kaya nga ito yung in-endorse ni PGMA dati when the fuel prices started to rise...dati kasi mas late magtaas ng prices ang petron corp. pero ngayon halos same lang with other companies.

[erict]

pinag-uusapan na rin lang, may cartel nga ba talaga ang big-3? pwede ba ngayon kahit deregulated tayo?

[mini_macky]

meron caltex station sa santolan intersection na sinara dati kasi nagdadaya...ang lapit na nya sa crame & camp aguinaldo ha. hehehe. palakasan ng loob!

[theveed]

Malapit nadin mawawala Caltex so dont expect much from them

[ts1n1ta]

hmm grabe naman yan. halos lahat Petron pa madaya. ako dalawang gasoline station lang pinapakargahan ko eh Shell lang ako. Naiinis ako sa Petron dito sa may amin eh, magpapakarga ka unleaded lagi wala. Tapos iaalok premium. as in nagkakataon ba na pag ako magpapagas walang unleaded? galing naman. hehehe

[revoGSX]

hindi ba tumataas ng 50 cents ang gasoline last sunday? baka dahil dun..

ako kasi ang gawa pag full tank eh i don't rely on the amount, i always check the number of liters na kinarga, sa petron edsa/pasay road ako madalas pa-gas..

[chieffy]

i post ko rin dito
if in doubt:
1. get your proof of purchase (invoice stub, OR, credit card sales receipt)
2. immediately go back to the gas station
3. look for the station manager, supervisor or dealer
4. tell him your concern and ask him to demonstrate a calibration - it involves a 10-liter calibration bucket with seal, 10 liters of fuel dispensed directly from any pump, a representative from the station and you

gawin nyo yung pag dispense ng 10 liters thrice. dapat nasa zero mark palagi titigil yung level ng fuel sa graduated cylinder ng calibration bucket. nasa zero mark palagi dapat ang level kapag natapos ang pag dispense ng 10 liters of fuel. kung 2 out of three ay nasa tamang level ang inilabas ng isang pump, it means that their pump is still properly calibrated. kung below the zero mark yung level = kulang ang idinidispense ng pump. kung above the zero mark yung level ng 10 liters ng fuel sa calibration bucket = sobra naman ang naikakarga sa customer

kapag napatunayan nyong kulang ang fuel na inilalabas ng pump ng isang gasoline station ay ipagbigay alam agad sa pinakamalapit na presinto, itawag din sa DTI or sa ahensya ng gobyerno na namamahala nito upang makagawan ng sapat na aksyon/parusa ang sinumang mapapatunayang nagkasala...

in fairness sa mga gasoline stations, the vehicles' fuel pump is very inaccurate...do a research about it on how it works para magkaroon ng idea

Revo, 4 days apart lang yung akin hehe... and parehas price i assure you.

Pag konti lang diff ok lang, pero kung more than half a line ang difference, may anomalya na yan.

Dati nung naka Corolla pa ako, lagi ako full tank, never hindi... One time sabi ko full tank, aba pag alis ko may mga 1cm gap before the "F" line. Eh usually kung full tank halos lalagpas sa last line ng "F"

Caltex J.Vargas to dati... And GRABE tumope makina ko pag dun sa station na yun.

[chieffy]

Caltex J.Vargas to dati... And GRABE tumope makina ko pag dun sa station na yun.

nangyari na rin sa civic ko iyan noong nagpa fulltank ako sa Caltex Julia Vargas...the operator (corporation) of that branch is notorious for dumping(sp?)...adulterated fuel gamit nyan kaya tumotope makina...baka may halong diesel or kerosene...pina drain ko at medyo madilaw yung kanilang Vortex Silver (bluish green kasi ito)...

[akuma]

ako sa petron timog cor morato nagpapa gas... ok naman sya... friend pa ng sister ko yung owner...

pero yung petron morato cor e. rod mukhang may daya...

[jasonub]

thats funny thought petron was always ok. so it seems shell lang ang ok. now im using seaoil with ethanol

[erict]

thats funny thought petron was always ok. so it seems shell lang ang ok. now im using seaoil with ethanol

same here, seaoil with ethanol na, taas kasi octane kaysa ordinary na unleaded lang, and mas mura pa.

[theveed]

Ronald: walang palya dun pare, sa corolla ganun, sa benz na diesel ganun din, yung altima napakarga ni misis last month ganun din!

ang susungit pa ng mga mekaniko dun hehe.

[chieffy]

veed, eto pa (tsismis he he) yung corporation na yun used to handle several Petron, Shell and Caltex gas stations...inalis na sa kanila lahat ang rights to operate most of them dahil nga panay kadayaan pinaggagawa...ang kapal nga ng mukha...sa Caltex, yung J. Vargas na lang ang hawak nila...yung Petron sa Makati Ave. Buendia inalis na rin ata sa kanila...dapat sa korporasyon na iyon eh sunugin :fire: sa sarili nilang adulterated fuel :evillaugh

[edl100]

Parang madaming complaints talaga ang Petron. Ang kulit ko lang since Petron has the best gas in my opinion.

Before, I always use VELOCITY. Nang magmahal masyado ang gas, I used the XCS since this has the highest octane rating for the Price. I tried Caltex gold, but it seems that palyado ang takbo ng car using this gas. Forget about SHELL since parang ang bilis nitong maubos or mag-burn and parang ang lakas tuloy sa gas ng kotse.

PETRON gas is OK but it seems that madaming mandaraya. I may add that MADAYA sa may PETRON MINDANAO AVE cor. Pag-Asa Q.C. There has been a history with them even in the 80's kilala na silang konti mag-karga ng gas.

FOR Q.C. RESIDENTS: HERE ARE THE BETTER GAS STATIONS.

OK sa PETRON SCOUT AREA Q.C. rotonda beside the YELLOW CAB PIZZA.
OK din sa PETRON Connecticut EDSA. The one Roland Hermoso (rally driver) owns.
OK sa new CALTEX North Ave. beside SM city. I noticed parang madaming maglagay ng gas doon. If you use caltex.

As for the rest, questionable na lahat.

Imagine, kung honest lang sana sila lahat, baka ma-neutralize yung effect ng pagtaas ng presyo.
