Gas stations with cheaper fuel prices [continued]

Wala pa rin tatalo sa Fairview

Petron along barangka drive, 2-3 pesos cheaper vs Petron sa Shaw Wack Wack

[oj88]

For those in the know who have actually done the math, am I really saving money by getting a membership card (specifically, Landers) and using it solely for the fuel discount?

I use an average of 110 liters of Diesel every month, give or take.

I'm asking this because I have this feeling that these participating Caltex stations might be artificially marking-up the original per-liter price so that the final per-liter cost ends up not being all that cheaper compared to regular gas station prices after the discount has been applied.

[_Qwerty_]

for S&R.. i pay 450 for membership - 900 for business membership +1 free... so naghahati kami.. kaya tig 450 lang kami..

for computation purposes 50.00 ang gas, I get 5 pesos discount, I gas up 1T pesos per week so 4T per month.

Every week I get 2.22 liters free or 111 pesos (22.22 liters for 1T instead of 20 liters)

111 x 4 = 444 per month
444 x 12 = 5,328 per year.

I appreciate your response but this isn't what I'm after. I actually know how to compute for it..... I just wanted to get feedback from those in the know whether or not Caltex (in my particular case with Landers) is actually artificially manipulating the per-liter cost that would effectively negate a significant value of the discount?

For example, other gas station might sell Diesel for 43.00 per liter... sometimes 42.00 per liter.

Caltex (Landers) would publish their Diesel to be 45.00 per liter before discount (typically higher than most gas stations for the same fuel tier). Through the Landers membership card, a P4/L discount is applied, giving me a final per-liter cost of 41.00.

P43/L vs P41/L gives a difference of P2/L savings (just half of the P4/L savings they're advertising).

So again, the question for those in the know, do you get this impression that Landers/Caltex is pulling a fast one on us?

yung sa UniOil i know hindi naka mark up kasi mababa pa din yung price nila kahit wala pang discount..

yang sa Caltex, napansin ko yan yung Caltex sa loob nang Landers sa Paco, mataas nga yung presyo.

Last couple of times I checked, the posted diesel price of Caltex at Landers Arcovia was at par with the other big 3 stations along C-5.

In my CR-V I average 10-11km/L of diesel at 13km/h average. That's when using Shell or Petron.

With Caltex (station at Landers) in the same driving conditions I get 8.5km/L. Not sure if it's the fuel quality or if the pump is underdelivering.

So with Caltex at Landers I'm losing ~15% from fuel mileage despite saving ~10% from the discounted diesel price.

Even though I have a Landers membership I never fill up there anymore. The stations near my house sell diesel at 2-3 pesos cheaper anyway.

ang taas mag presyo ang caltex

so ang discounted price niya presyong small player so may kita parin sila

[oj88]

Thank you. Tama nga hinala ko.

[kagalingan]

dtio sa true qc ang pinakamura na 47 sa sea oil erod pang mga taxi pero kahit private pwede. Kaso sa petron 51pesos so konti lang din naman difference kaya kay petron ako mas maayos station at maganda yung machine. Walang dugas sa tagal ko napakarga.

Pero gawin nila 41 yan lipat ako sa new and mid oil player. Pag 8 to 10pesos mapapaisip na ako. Pero 3 to 4pesos eh keep the change.

ano ba nangyayari bakit nadadalas conicidence sa akin ngayon.

Kagabi post ko ito. Eh ngayon lang magpapagaso sana ako sa petron quezon ave near burger king pero madadaanan ko muna si sea oil. Upon aproaching seaoil bigla napadilat mata ko kasi i cannot believe what i saw 42.90 unleaded in true qc erod!!!! Yes you read it right. 42.90 today aug 28,2019 only till 11:59pm. So pasok kaagad ako full tank.

Iba talaga ito location ko. Centro na nga maganda pa labanan ng business.

Mukhang nagmomonitor seaoil dtio tsikot forum., Thank you for reading & listening to my post.

And as always MABUHAY ANG TRUE QC!!!!

Also i want to thank the universe na hindi ako nagshort cut sa d.tuazon st and cordillera st going to petron.

Remember ito post ko few months ago.

Ngayon madaling-araw ang bait na naman sa akin ng fuel gods.

Bale kanina around 12am papunta ako sa isang patitipon pero magpapagaso muna ako sa petron. Pero this time dumirecho na talaga ako kasi si seaoil hindi pa ulit nagpopromo. Pag dating ko petron eh napatitig talaga ako sa price kasi 49.50!!!! So tinanong ko fuel boy bakit bumaba eh yun daw utos sa kanila ng management na less 3pesos. Grabe full tank kaagad ako. Maghanap kayo petron na ganito presyo within metro manila.

Kaya tingnan nyo binebless ako ng universe dahil naging prangka ako na bulok ang desel. Hindi man ako palarin sa brent oil pricing pero sa true qc dito sa area ko mababa presyuhan.

Sana hindi lang ito one day promo. Kasi papakarga ko the rest of the sasakyan mamayang gabi.

that 3 peso discount is nothing new.
the neighborhood ptt here also does it. i call it the "la lang discount".
plus, regular weekend discount of 1 peso for diesel and 2 pesos for gasoline.

[greenlyt]

lahat ng gas station sa amin (Betterliving) may 3 pesos discount din

[dr. d]

is there a significant difference in km/li, odor, color, seatback dynamometer? any-wise?
you yourself admitted above (#1431) that, at the right price, you will go to the not-big-player...
so it would appear, mukhang presyo ka rin pala...
heh heh.

[kagalingan]

Oo dok, pag 7 to 10pesos ang difference ni small and mid oil player eh jan ako.

Pero pag 3 to 5 lang eh kay petron na.

Mas gusto ko talaga petron, hindi madali maubos. Hindi pa pigil hatak.

haleeerrr. Petron ito. Not your favorite small player.
