Oh yah! PETROL PRICE DROPPED AGAIN!!! OH MAN!!! SO HAPPy!!!
3 rounds of cuts in a day after Caltex prices 92-octane fuel below prevailing market rate
A PETROL price war has ignited, hours after Caltex - the smallest pump operator here - re-introduced 92-octane petrol and priced it below the prevailing market rate.
No fewer than three rounds of cuts were made within the day yesterday, as the four oil companies tried to outdo one another.
ExxonMobil was the first to react by lowering its 92-octane fuel by 2.2 cents a litre to match Caltex's $1.536 (before discount). The giant, which has the largest pump network of 67 stations, made the change at 10am yesterday - 10 hours after Caltex's surprise move.
Singapore Petroleum Co (SPC) followed suit at 12.30pm.
And by around 4pm, Shell - which is the second biggest player with 63 stations - did a double-barrelled reduction. It matched its rivals' 92-octane price and cut 95-octane by 2.9 cents a litre to $1.537.
Its price advantage was short-lived. At 5pm, Caltex and ExxonMobil matched Shell's 95-octane rate.
Caltex upped the ante by bringing its 92-octane - which it re-introduced after phasing it out in 2000 - 2.9 cents lower to $1.507 a litre.
And at 5.30pm, SPC matched the market's prevailing 95-octane rate. An hour later, this home-grown player matched Caltex's 92-octane rate.
The industry has not seen this thrust-and-parrying for several years now. In recent times, pump price movements have been relatively tame, with one player making a change and then others matching it uniformly within a day.
Asked why it reacted so swiftly to a far smaller competitor, ExxonMobil Singapore retail manager Loh Chee Seng said: 'It's not about size but about Esso's commitment to providing our loyal customers with competitive prices.'
YESH!!!!!! Keep fighting! And it will be good news for all drivers! WAHAHAHAHA!!!!
