New petrol company Sinopec in SG.. lower prices coming?

[Vinceng]

 I dun sexpect cheaper petrol but at least a better loyalty program than the current cartels are offering..

 

SPC now offers the best deal - 21% discount.

 

If Sinopec does not offer  a better deal at 25% discount, I don’t think it’s worth to make a detour to pump Sinopec, in view of the limited stations available.

[kopfan]

25% or more will definitely attract a lot of customer. Hopefully they will partner with more banks to offer discounts.

1 increases price, all increase price together. But 1 down, not all down. Add 1 more petrol company got what use?

Got use lah. All petrol companies pay taxes. So it makes the govt richer

End of the day, if Sinopec is going to charge the same prices as the other fuel pumps, I don't see why there is any motivation for motorists to switch brands.

 

China products should cost less.

Why should China products cost less?

 

Is it the same logic where ang mo fresh graduate consultant is worth more than senior Asian one?

Same as why electricity market was opened to so many players and the Telco market to so many virtual telcos. No point.

[Daniu82]

At least those telcos and electricity suppliers got different plans, the petrol pricing for the different brands are basically the same.

Think the "inquiry" mentioned before.. the key differences are things like loyalty points, discounts and tie ups..

 

So.. For Sinopec to stand out, it has to offer more compared to the rest.

PRC SYT is one such intangibles
