"Oil consultant Ong Eng Tong said: "Most of the oil majors would like to divest their petrol stations. First, it is not their priority, and second, (it is due to) the coming of electric vehicles in the not-too-distant future."

This threat is real. With a stable no of cars and increased no. of hybrids on Sin roads, Has the total vol petrol sold decreased? 5yr from now, probably 50% of new car sold are hybrid cars.

Why hybrid cars dont specify battery capacity; like power banks?

This is the reason why petrol prices go up unjustified

Sinopec is known for slashing prices at HKG. I wonder if they will do the same here too.

 

Then again, will Singaporeans shun Sinopec because it is from China and their petrol will be deemed as "inferior"

 

Will they have a rewards Program or will they follow SPC and just give no frills discount?

 

I just find it interesting that they wanna come in where others like BP went out.

 

Oh and I kinda miss BP too. Sound so atas!

ok so we have silly oil majors ( even a new player coming in) paying $50 million to lease land for 30 years to retail petrol in the wake of decreasing petrol demand in the next 5 years

If Sinopec builds a station at Yishun Ave 1, and sells cheap, I'll definitely go there and pump.

 

Then it will follow by cheap petrol is lousy petrol comments. [laugh]

If one station it's not going to make any difference.

 

If at least 15 station spread geographically over SG, maybe when they slash prices, the other cartel will follow.

Don't have too much hope. If petrol prices and margins go down too much, govt will take the chance to increase petrol tax again.

If they covert 15 Shell to Sinopec.

Then Chinese state own petrol companies will have bigger presence in Singapore.

 

Total 40 SPC + 15 Sinopec = 55

Shell 62-15= 47

Esso = 58

Caltex=26

 

Dutch is 47

Chinese is 55

American is 84

So USA still bigger
