Gas Station Loyalty...

be aware, all of these Oil companies import their products including LPG, even Petron, the refinery in Bataan is not in full capacity. They are competing sa market, not in the product itself. And most likely sa additives, these additives are added locally.

Caltex boy Ako talaga pero ever since nagsara mga Chevron stations in my neck of the woods, I've since transferred my business to 1 particular petron filler upper.

I still have some recollections on how petron was when it was still gov't owned. My dad used to avoid it like the plague. Pangit kasi service tapos may rep pa na contaminated produkto nila. Also, halos neglected itsura Ng mga staff at stations niya.

this is the reason why I prefer V-Power Racing compared to Blaze. Shell uses a specific formula that's constant to our region. Sometimes nga, the tanker leaves Singapore with a generic fuel, tapos it will stop mid-way to add the necessary additives of the receiver dito sa Pinas.

As for Petron's refinery not running at 100%, its basically due to the demand. Why produce too much if di naman mabebenta.

But for my daily drive, Caltex (Landers), UniOil and Petron.

Ramon Ang being passive aggressive. 😂

He also said that our ASEAN neighbors will soon be cancelling their fuel subsidies program. If that happens mag pantay-pantay na presyo Ng fuel sa sea region natin. I've heard somewhere that Thailand has already sent feelers to their populace about that.

Well, maybe in the end, only malaysia and Brunei will continue subsidizing fuel costs for their citizens since they have their own oil wells. Iyon nga Lang, Malaysia is having a bit of a bubbling secessionist problem in sabah so that'll be interesting to watch.

We were in Thailand last Holy Week and I remember hearing sa news that their Gov't spends around $60M/day to subsidize fuel.

Can you just imagine kung saan kukunin ng Gov't natin yung $60M/day

Ang bilis nila pagdating sa markup ng mga prices. Pero pag usapang rollback naman, usad pagong sila. Mga anti-poor syndicate nga.

Sa mga bulsa lang din naman kasi nila napupunta yung mga VAT na pinagkukuhanan niyan.
