Kusje Supersonic August 7, 2018 Share August 7, 2018 like I said, more business = more profits ? eg, if they sell cheaper by 5c but sell 10000L @$1.95 , they will get $19500. other coys hold at $2 but only sell 5000L, they will get $10000. one tank 60L = $3 saving for the consumer, one might say why go out all the way ? but if one stays near Bedok stadium, the Esso and SPC is just side by side. why not sell more at cheaper prices ?? keeping the petrol in the refinery tank is not going get anyone any incentives - that's for sure. well, you heard the saying ... he who laughs last, laughs best. but then again, all this is just my part of wishful thinking ... Not sure if you understood my point... If SPC sells more means the others sell less. They will just sit by and do nothing? If their response is to start to compete with SPC then who wins? Take reference from the so called bukit timah petrol station wars in 2004 (I think?). Did any of the participants sell more than they otherwise would? Did it make up for loss in revenue from lower pump prices? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enye Hypersonic August 7, 2018 Share August 7, 2018 Ya hor. If spc decided to drop prices and the other 3 no business, garment may slap them with anti-competition law. ðboss ... think you better read up more on the rules governing anti competitive behaviour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvialite 1st Gear August 8, 2018 Share August 8, 2018 So between SPC + Everyday card and Caltex + Safra card, which is cheaper? SPC + AMEX cashback card + Hometeam NS coupon should give quite a lot of discount for non PHV drivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrecord Supersonic August 8, 2018 Share August 8, 2018 Take reference from the so called bukit timah petrol station wars in 2004 (I think?). Did any of the participants sell more than they otherwise would? Did it make up for loss in revenue from lower pump prices? I think it was before 2004 leh, the price war. In fact, it was not restricted only to Bukit Timah. Upp Thomson was also quite fierce. The petrol stations had these huge number boards on standby, to use to show the discounts given. Can change the boards a few times a day, as the stations tried to match and beat the others nearby... traffic was chaotic as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
