Q: Can I register more than one vehicle?
A: Yes you can register a maximum of 5 vehicles per driver for Private cars and there is no maximum for Public vehicles. For Private vehicles, you can register up to 5 cars under your name, as long as you reach the required mileage for each. (a different maximum number of cars applies for public vehicles) Log on to your Car Owners log in page, click "vehicle profile" and then click "add car".

Q: What happens if my sticker gets damaged?

Q: What happens when myfreegas contract ends?
A: After the contract, the sticker needs to be removed and recorded by our distributor. Failure to do this will result to you having less chances of renewing your freegas contract the next time a new brand comes along.

Q: Can another person renew and receive my free gas for me?
A: Yes. As long as he or she has a written letter of consent signed by the registered receiver of MyFreeGas.

Q: What if I run more than 300kms? Do I get more free gas the more I run?
A: No, you can only get 1 coupon of Php1,000 per car per month. If you run more than 300kms per month, companies will like using you to carry their brand as they get more brand exposure for your high mileage. This means, you will have a better chance of renewing your contract with myfreegas for other campaigns.

Q: How will I know if I reach 300Kms per month?
A: If you consume more than 1 full tank per month, more or less you reach 300Kms. A sedan or a car with an average fuel efficiency rating runs around 300Kms on one tank of fuel.

I registered already to try this out. Sayang din ang 1K free gas if ever. Tumaas pa naman ulit ngayon ang gas.

i did a math kasi hehehe

money = P1000
goal = 300 km
average FC (as of last full tank) = 9km/l
gas price (shell malabon)= 45.25

P1000 / 45.25 = 22.10 liters

22.10 L x 9km/L = 198.9 km

198.9 km - 300 km = (-) 101.1 km


Conclusion:

101.1 km short for the given(free) P1000 worth of 22.10 liters of gasoline


BUT:

kung tulad kita, im spending P3K-4.5K (2-3 full tanks) worth of gas in a month. its a P1000 less for the monthly gas expenditures. may sticker nga lang ang auto.

actually paps, yan din naiisip ko... around 3k-4k monthly gas ko.. less 1K if ever.. pede na rin. kaso yun nga may sticker lang. alangan din ako kasi wala talaga stickers oto ko.. even yung sa LTO winshield sticker di ko rin dinidikit. kaso 1K is 1K din.. well, unless money is not a problem.. :D

[_Qwerty_]

ok lang to.. basta wag "THANK YOU GMA" ang sticker! hehehehe
