I buy the cheapest gas I could find.
Of course I do follow some rules so that it would be sulit.
One get it from a reputable source meaning there is a company, not the person selling literally by the gallon. Those placed in gallon containers. I don't buy from the big three (Petron, Shell, Caltex) I buy from the independent players the petrol that they have are just the same as the big three, so why spend more. In fact some of the big three when they have shortages, they buy from the independent players. Lets get something straight also. Gas from the big three are overpriced. Then they entice you with different kinds of promos to get gas from them, Whether it would be free softdrinks to ice cream to stuff that you really don't need. Not to mention the cost to advertise.
Two, get where it is nearest your place, or where its on your route to wherever you go. I get my gas which is a bit far from me but once a week or once in two weeks I have meetings in that area, so I take that opportunity to get cheap gas. Would you believe it is less 5 pesos per liter from the big three prices. So every time I gas up I save about 200 pesos (if I fill up with 40 liters). Now I even bought a gas container to fill up with their gas to save. the container was a 20 liter container costing me 600 pesos. with just 120 liters of gas I have recovered the cost of my container.
If I gas for 40 liters a week that would be 160 liters in a month multiply it to 5 pesos savings that would amount to 800 pesos. I can say that I use that money for other maintenance cost for the car, like change oil etc.
