Gas Station Loyalty...

[ice15]

The only time small players got a taste of extremely good sales was when gas prices shot up into the high-P70/L in mid-2022.

not all "small players" are cheap.

pansin ko yung "Fuel Express" sa East Service road ang mahal ng gas

[carxynogen]

position the cursor under the last line being quoted, and type as much as you like, just like before. it'll come out fine, just like before.

Ayaw pa rin, two liner lang lumabas na edit interface. Pangatlong line di na makita yung first line.
Unlike before na malaki ang interface.
Sa account ko lang ba to? Windows 10 and Windows 11 using Chrome and Edge, same pa rin talaga.
Sorry, medyo OT. Anong thread pala where we can post problems sa forum?

There are exceptions, but the great majority are relatively cheaper than the big brands.

Most likely other factors comes into play, especially location and whether or not they have a competitor nearby, etc. Those that are in the vicinity of expressways (ie. inside the actual expressway or near entries and exits), including main roads, OA ang prices.

minsan naiisip ko mag-start ng fuel vendo machine

kaso ako nga personally, hirap gumamit ng gas from no name stations...

I think if your target market are the commercial MCs and/or tricycle community, patok yan. Especially if there are no other nearby gas stations. It's not that you're going to sell low-quality gas, but they are less likely to be picky anyway. More often than not, habol nila is mababang presyo and accessibility.

Sa Unioil ay minsan may promo ang EastWest bank credit card, P7 off per liter of ANY fuel. Sobrang panalo talaga.

Caltex ako eversince nagka auto ako.
Was convinced by a colleague after switching fuel source to Caltex.
Mas mabilis na daw hatak ng Mazda 3 2009 niya compare nung nagpa gas siya sa ibang fuel station.

Baka galing siya sa petron before that. May mga nagkarga at nagsabi na medyo makupad humatak at rough ang engine under petron. Same observation din ng erpat dati. Pero hindi naman daw ganun sa other brands. Ramdam sa both gas and diesel yun pero mas pronounced sa latter. Kahit dati nung hs pa ata ako, ganun na talaga pag petron. Kaya i'd avoid ng pakarga sa kanila whenever possible.

almost 8 years na siguro akong nagpapa gas sa Gazz and Metro Oil, wala naman akong napansin na kaka iba sa Honda City & HRV ko. malapit kasi sa amin and cheaper by 6-10 pesos sa big 3

4k resolution ng laptop ko (15inch) kaya medyo di comfortable sa mata.
Buti nalang may 27inch monitor ako na naka Full HD lang resolution so OK pa i type kahit two liner lang.
Pero sa mga long replies ko, need na gumamit ng notepad.

Shell for me and I only gas up at one specific station.

When I was still with SPEX, most of us didn’t fill up at Shell gas stations because of the higher prices. These days, I usually gas up at Seaoil, which offers Euro 5-compliant products, using the PRICELOCQ app for a ₱2 discount and cheapest in my area. I avoid the others coz of same reason above unless there's no other choice.
So far, wala pa naman issues sa aking mga cars with their fuel system, past and present.

Seaoil is Euro 4, at least based on the information on their website. I think only Unioil sells Euro 5 fuels.

I stand corrected...
I should have said that their Exceed diesel is designed to provide performance characteristics aligned to Euro 5 standards.
I forgot to note that cars I have are both diesel fed.

is it just me, o Petron na ang cheapest "branded" fuel ngayon?

I think Petron is even cheaper than Caltex+Landers

[bmacavanza]

99.99% Petron user ako nuon sa Pinas. Dahil we have a business with Petron.

[GTcervan]

Up to now, either shell or unioil lang ang choices ko for top-up. Pero may rare instances na nasali din ang caltex pag nadaan sa landers para discounted. Still avoiding petron at all costs.

Ah curious, why avoiding Petron?

Yup, of the Big 3 (along with Caltex and Shell), Petron is the cheapest. I guess its because they own the only local refinery.

I think nabanggit ko na before.

Nagiging sluggish ang performance ng makina tapos rough din. There were times na nagiging mausok pa pag diesel. And sa kanila lang ganun. Sa other brands hindi naman.

Pero, right now. Petron is cheaper compared to UniOil + S&R discount and Caltex + Landers discount.
