Zxcvb Turbocharged May 29, 2020 Share May 29, 2020 https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/esso-shell-reduce-pump-prices-after-spc-resists-previous-round-of-increases SINGAPORE - American oil giant ExxonMobil, which markets the Esso brand of fuels, was the first to revert to previous pump prices at 4pm on Friday (May 29) afternoon, some two weeks after rival SPC resisted a previous increase. Anglo-Dutch group Shell followed suit at 6pm on the same day. According to Fuel Kaki - a fuel price tracker managed by the Consumers Association of Singapore - Esso and Shell pump prices are now largely where they were before the previous increase. Esso's and Shell's 95-octane petrol is now retailing at $1.99 a litre before discount, while Esso's 92 - which Shell does not offer - is $1.95, matching SPC's rates. Esso's 98-octane is $2.36, while Shell's is $2.38. They are both still higher than SPC's $2.33 after the latest round of adjustments. Esso and Shell diesels are both now $1.67 a litre, versus SPC's $1.64. Shell's V-Power, which is marketed as a grade above 98, is $2.61 and still one cent higher than its price before the last increase. Other players are expected to match Shell's and ExxonMobil's reductions. Sinopec, which takes it fuel supplies from Shell, is more likely to do so than others. Although RBOB Gasoline, a publicly traded commodity and a proxy for wholesale petrol price, had dipped slightly this week, it is still noticeably higher than it was two weeks ago. If the lone resistance by SPC persuaded other pump operators to backtrack on their increase, it would not be the first time. Early this year, the Chinese-owned company also resisted a round of price increases which saw all the other players raising petrol and diesel prices by three cents a litre from Jan 6. Within a week, the other players reverted to their previous rates. Pump prices at Esso stations were the first to rise in the previous round of increases last Monday, which saw petrol and diesel rates climbing by around three cents a litre. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 Just went Esso to draw money from the ATM machine n saw a sign that showed pump price decrease by 3 cts. I believe SPC’s actions or rather non action of not increasing their fuel prices forced Esso n gang to follow suit. Kudos to SPC for showing leadership n not taking advantage by following suit when the other petrol firms raised their prices without basis recently. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the masses can continue to put pressure on the rest by just pumping at spc, then it might force the rest to go even cheaper than spc...

But then... In theory this is doable but we all know in practice, this is unlikely in fact almost impossible to happen. For various reasons, motorists will continue to pump at different brand stations. Some reasons can be individual preference, convenience of pump locations, perception of better quality fuel etc. The challenge to pressurise Fuel companies to price their fuel fairly is a marathon. I see some progress being made from petitions at Change.org, SPC bucking the trend on price increases, publicity n thus awareness etc. So small steps hv been achieved but I hope the associations like CASE to CCCS play their part but it sure doesn’t seem so 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
