Petrol Prices

[ramelec]

Is there a way to find out prices of petrol at different location in Hong Kong? I know petrol prices are high in Hong Kong but would like to find comparison and alternative. Thanks

Aren't they magically the same at all station?

Alternative? Take a bus. Or, if you have a modern diesel that can handle bio-diesel, buy bulk canola cooking oil in the supermarket.

+1. Some credit cards have promotions as well, I usually get a load of coupons in the post each month (e.g. spend $400 at Caltex get $40 free etc etc)

The Environment Bureau will issue a report very soon on the 'free' market for petrol price.

It would seem that this should be a simple case of enforced open data using a positive non-interventionist approach.

If the daily price data had to be supplied to the government who collated and made it available for the public to scrutinize then their would be transparency. Relying on the environmental department every 10 years to look into the issue seems the softest possible approach the executive branch could of taken.

Enforced real-time data would also facilitate competition

It is either incompetence or collusion that means there are always suspiciously similar petrol prices.

When it comes to fuel discounts in HK, all you need to know are two words: Fleet Cards.

[MandM!]

Sinopec has $2.5 discount per litre (min Hk$400 spending) on the weekends available for the cheapest petrol.

my Esso card was 2$ off each litre everytime so was my Caltex card. Auto pay charge to CC at the beginning of each month for the past months usage.

Esso did have a card you could register for that gave discounts for private cars only but that finished last year. Only fleet / company accounts now or specific negotiated discounts. On the grapevine there is an app soon to be released that will give subscribers discounts every time.
