Petrol is petrol...Where can i buy non-branded petrol??

[Darkness]

i think our PM is advising us to look for non-branded..where can we find no brand petrol companies? maybe he will ask us to use vegetable oil, or those bio-fuel?

 

The statement is mostly made in relation to staples like basic food stuff, essentials (bread, sugar, rice etc).

 

Cars and the associated petrol etc are considered as luxuries and you use it if and only if u can afford it. Try not to confuse the 2 issues.

i drive a MPV and agree that SPC doesnt give good mileage

i'm erally puzzled why

150km needle still full

downgrade octane. unless ur ride is specifically tuned for high-octane

branded = vpower and caltex platinum

housebrand = SPC92 Laugh

 

I have tried using SPC. No doubt the price is slightly cheaper than Shell while at the same time almost the same as Esso. I found that the FC is quite bad for SPC, although it is cheap. The distance traveled per dollar works out to be the same as per any other brand.

 

Talking about downgrading to household brand, I hope they walk the talk by reducing the price of fuel in SPC.

 

SPC is Public Listed correct? Is it even government owned? If it is non-government owned then how do u expect the government to regulated SPC's fuel price?

In that case, NTUC should start selling petrol.

Better make sure it is cheaper than else where.

Suggest to our PM that he also consider non-branded Ministers. No need to get big shot high flying surgeons, lawyers etc that cost millions.

If u refer to my previous post to TS, I mentioned that "Cars and the associated petrol etc are considered as luxuries and you use it if and only if u can afford it.", being so why should petrol be sold at discounted prices by NTUC? (The current local fuel price is another issue altogether).

 

In the same spirit you do not expect NTUC to start selling quality perfume, jewelries, watches etc do u?

Agree!

ask ng hen lor.. he supposed to bring the price of oil down. so far is all chicken and c0ck tok only.

This is what I've been proposing some time back. Petrol is petrol. What we need is cheap RON92 petrol. Shell doesn't sell that anymore. Caltex doesn't sell that anymore. This leaves Esso and SPC. Then again not all SPC stations have RON92. The costs of hiring these fill attendants and minimarts are jacking prices up.

 

I want a return to the old ways. Petrol station should be self-service, pay by NETS, credit card or Cashcard. No cash involved. Have toilet. Drinks vending machine. Condom vending machine, panties vending machine and car oil change workshop (Jiffylube). The oil change technicians will not fill your petrol no matter how much you offer them to.

I know of one place sell diesel, no brand one but its illegal. I ask a cab driver why dun they go and find such cheaper source as now life is hard for them, he say these diesel will damage the car.

 

that's industrial diesel... cheaper but too sure if its damaging or not. defu lane has such a pump there.

[Comfy]

aiya but they wanna earn more $$ for the service they provide u at the pumps ma.. petrol charge high high then pay those uncles or part timers cheap cheap...

[Yaloryalor]

Yes, I have been using Shell for the past 5~6 years but just switched to SPC 2 months ago (cos of better discount ). However, the FC really not good..

diesels also increase. commercial vehicles arent luxury items.

even many low-end cars arent.

basically he wun tell u find cheaper fuel...he will tell u these i guess:

 

1. If u can, downgrade to lower CC or better FC car, thus save petrol $$

2. Drive less, take alternative public transport, so save more petrol $$, ERP $$

3. If you can, totally dun drive, give up yr car, so super save more $$

 

Conclusion, YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE GOES DOWN TO FIGHT INFLATION.

 

while amazingly some ppl quality of life continue to go up. if u dun belong to that group, 'CHEER UP', you got cheaper alternatives still

[Firstcall]

oh one more option for your 'variety' of cheaper alternatives

 

ask u go convert to CNG.

 

 

 

 

fine prints (you will pay more upfront and takes 1-2 years for ROI, depending on yr usage, the more u use the faster u ROI, btw meanwhile yr ERP are likely to increase...and yes if u are lucky, u can find 'alternative route to avoid ERP, if not too bad. And even if u do, u may still get stuck in JAMs and at the end yr FC gets worse and yes LPPL. for those buying new CNG converted cars, you must try not to sell yr car too early else yr savings may be LPPL due to lower OMV)
