jonchai Regular Location: Adelaide - Race Central Registered: June 2004	Re: Don't buy petrol at MOBIL OR BP! Sat, 23 April 2005 16:47 you CLOWN!! they have Not considered 1 thing. If Mobil and say, Caltex had stores next to each other. Caltex offered 90c/L, Mobil 95c/L. Mobil pulls down to 90c/L to match! But do you think Caltex is going to fall to 89c/L just to compete? This price matching will only delay the inevitable, and that is a rise on ALL accounts. Keep this in mind with.. a) Mobil and BP have the best fuels in the country (for those that care) b) Rarely are there 2 competing stores so close, that people give a toss where they went c) People rarely care how much petrol is (I know this coz i work in a servo)(Mobil to be exact) d) Mobil are biggest for a lot of reasons!! among them, we have most company fleets fuel account. among them Telstra and the Police force...Yes alll patrol cars go thru us! People, in general go to servos that are 1. closest 2. are open 24hrs 3. have the nicest and best service To back my reasons! Mobil IS often more expensive and despite being some 5c more expensive than down the road, we are still flat-out Dont get me wrong, i want cheaper petrol too! but I am pretty sure that this isnt going to work! I'm sure neither Mobil or BP wants to have high prices, but consider the fact that their profits are very low, and most costs (49%) are taken-up by State and Federal excise, the rest by transportation and the likes with a mere 2% profit for my store! also, if you want 10% ethanol in YOUR tank!! by all means go for your life, pray for your engine while ypur at it!
