Got Gasul?

February 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments

We have been out of LPG for more than a week.  Last week, it seemed like the whole city ran out of LPG.  We looked around and called every single possible place we could find Petron Gasul but no luck at all.  They said they all ran out of stock.  Could it be really true or the stores are just hoarding them before the price goes up.  After all, I heard in the TV news report that prices are going up.   I ordered a refill and a backup tank from the Petron Direct Ordering site and they told me that it would arrive the same day and nothing came, not even the next day.   So today I decided to just call a dealer directly. They told me it would be today.  I was not able to buy an extra tank though but only a refill that costs 520 Pesos.

I waited the whole day.  Finally, the Gasul tank refill we ordered arrived  at around 5pm!  At least now, we can cook using our stove again.

    I do not know where you live, but I have not heard of any shortages here in Davao. Gasoline even dropped 50 centavos this week which is nice to see.

    Hi Bruce,

    Looks like the shortage of LPG is just here within Metro Manila.
