Kawawa naman siya kung hindi umaabot ng piso gross markup niya. All major oil companies I know give better than 1 peso. Kung independent ka, lagpas 5 pesos pa.

Baka gusto niya lumipat sa ibang brand ng gas station, I can get him a good deal.

dunno if it's been posted before pero iyong petron sa amin may 1 peso less promo after 2pm. i'm guessong this is a company wide marketing scheme?

Kami rin before, less than 1 peso ang matitira after deduction ng rent haha. Per Liter din basehan.

Nope. Price-offs are usually site or dealer-specific.

I'm assuming you mean company-owned vs. dealer-owned?

Dealer-owned:
- Building and equipment are yours, only the signage is owned by the company. If you decide you do not wish to stay with them, you can easily leave.
- Usually has higher unit margins vs. company-owned
- Higher investment cost (bec you have to construct everything)
- If you own the land, you usually have more control of your operations as the company can't easily kick you out since they will lose a station if they do
- Since assets are yours, maintenance is also yours
- You'll need about P10-P15M to build decently-sized station (land and operating capital not included). There are smaller options (Petron Bulilit starts at 3M but growth opportunities are limited)

Company-owned:
- Usually situated in more strategic places (i.e. Metro Manila). Take note though that dealers currently operating these stations are experienced and will not be replaced anytime soon. So chances of being awarded a company-owned station are slim
- Lower capital requirement as you just pay for the fuel and operating costs, no capex
- Usually has higher operating standards that company requires
- Company is in charge of most maintenance works on site as they own the assets
- Company can easily kick you out if you're not a performer
- Capital requirement is about 5-10M (depening on station volume)

The general direction of most gas companies today is to pursue more dealer-owned sites, because it requires less investment on their end.
