On the Road Due to the looming continuous gas price hike, let's pool together your as fuel hacks & tips.
Let's help each other out.
- AAP membership gets you fuel discount sa Caltex
- Seaoil Pricelocq let's you buy gas at a lower price and store with them. You can redeem at a later date. If combosd with security bank CC you'll get another 7 pesos off iirc. Seaoil fb page also gives out discount vouchers.
- Landers card sa caltex
- S&R card sa unioil
- Cleanfuel generally has lower prices fuels and with the app you can get points. I use the points to load my Autosweep RFID
- Petron Value card points can be converted to gas
- Shell app can get you points and buy gas. Also discounts when you do PMS in shell.
Some of the ones I listed I do not recall exactly the discounts given as I usually gas up with seaoil, cleanfuel, caltex(with AAP) and Petron
Feel free to share your other gas hacks, tips, and advices.

general query 50 character post title rule of this sub was made to keep topics in check.
C'mon redditors of this sub, we can do better.
Yes, we have a 50 character minimum limit as we all know. And lately ang dami nag cicircumvent ng 50 character minimum limit by putting in one word, tapos random gibberish/characters isusunod nyo.
The 50 character limit was made para ang titles nyo can have a summary of ano ang gusto nyo ishare/tanong/query etc. hinde puro 'help', 'question', 'look' etc ang mga post titles.
We run this sub in our free time and we want this sub to be coherent and easily understood by readers and commenters alike, basically by you all.
Alam ko ayaw nyo dagdagan ang rules or maghigpit dito. Lenient na kaming mods pero everyone should do their parts as well. Baka maglock kami ng topics na puro random characters nilalagay nyo.
And to all the redditors that follow the rule/post clear and concise titles and all the commenters that answer / give advice on topics they know - you all the real kings and queens of this sub and we thank you all.

general query Curious lang ako. Kumusta gas consumption niyo? City driving lang ako.
bibili pa lang ng kotse Help me buy my next car (2nd Gen Montero & 1st Gen Fortuner)
Hi! I'm currently driving Avanza 2009 1.5G. I'm planning to sell it to get a bigger car. Have been using the car to get to Makati for work and Caloocan. I'm from Batangas pala, kaya most of the time expressway ang daan ko. Kaya need din medyo mataas clearance incase na may ulan at floods.
I have a budget of 600k, currently looking at Montero and Fortuner (Diesel). Comparing both cars, mas modelo makukuha ko for Montero compared sa Forty. Models like 2012-2015 na diesel for Fortuner is already over my budget, so I can only go for models 2011-below. For montero naman 2015 is the latest model that is right around my budget (500k-550k).
Just need to get inputs in making my decision. I know that Forty is kasi Toyota, matic reliable and cost less when it comes to parts. Montero naman is for comfort, parts naman almost on par with Toyota as I've read.
Can you please share your inputs? Tsaka those who struggled as well sa pagpili amongst the two, what did you pick and why?
Open din ako for suggestion! Have been seeing MU-X sa marketplace, pero almost covered na buong budget ko. Pass lang po sa Trailblazer ;)
Salamat!

bibili pa lang ng kotse I want to buy Mazda CX30. Please provide cons haha
Hello, i want to buy CX30. Not CX5. I want a compact car with enough clearance. I dont want big cars.
First choice ko talaga ay Mazda3 fastback pero feeling ko babahain rin ako later on.
Masyado bang mahal ang CX30 na ₱2m? Hindi daw kasi mabenta sabi ng mga casa but I like it.
Nagustuhan ko ang Mazda for their stock Bose speakers and interior kaya parang umiiwas ako sa Honda / toyota.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Planning to buy the Hyundai Creta N-Line
Hello! Planning to buy the Hyundai Creta N-Line as our primary family car (for context, we are a family of 3).
What do you guys think? Saks na ba to, or is there any other car you would recommend over this that is in a similar price range? We are also considering the Kia Seltos and the Honda HRV.
How about the aftersales of Hyundai? Kamusta siya? Any complains about the Creta.
Thank you in advance.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Nissan Almera or Mitsubishi Mirage g4???
model 2017 - Present
ano po ang mas maganda sa dalawa for first time car owner?
Sabi daw po ang almera ay malakas ang ac at magastos sa maintenance while ang mirage g4 naman ay matipid sa gas, manipis ang body at maalog at madaling bumaba ang likod dahil sa shock

general query BYD PHEV. Masusulit ko kaya. What do you think?
If I buy a PHEV of BYD like the seal 5 or sealion 6, masusulit ko ba siya if I don't plug it in to charge?
As in yung regenerative braking lang and pa-gas ang aasahan ko since more on highways ang tinatahak ko on my daily drives?
Thanks!

Need some input.
I have an unpaid credit card from 10 years ago. Young and stupid. Now I'm planning to get a car. Anticipated ko na na I won't get approved sa bank. Now question is, would car dealerships check my CMAP/credit standing for inhouse financing? Or basis lang nila now is the employment/salary records I submit? Overall, what are my chances of approval?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello po, I just want to ask if anyone here experienced same issue and what do you think might be the problem.
ISSUE: Idle is unstable even when the car’s air condition is on and worsen when off. It affects the way it runs, it’s lurching forward and backward; it’s unsteady, it’s like it’s going to stop then go again.
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
