On SCTEX, PTT and Seaoil na magkatapat but opposite directions ang tinatayo. On TPLEX, dalawang Petron na magkatapat but opposite sides.

Yup, walang additives yung sa generic. But it's mostly the same base fuel.

Di lang naman gas station yun. Like the gas stations along SLEX and NLEX may mga restaurants and convenience stores.

Last time na nag Baguio ako ang haba na ng TPLEX nakakainip kasi wala ka man lang matigilan or jingle break. Napansin ko rin yung mga construction na yun which is good for travellers.

General rule of thumb, if you're building a branded station in the province, you should have a secure volume 80-100 thousand liters per month. Otherwise it won't be a very profitable venture.

If you're going independent/generic, you should get at least 40 KL per month. Much lower volume required to stay afloat because generics have much higher unit margins and lower fixed costs.

So approximately 100-200 customers a day. More if they're PUVs, as those guys only put in a little at a time.

Doable, but only on a major thoroughfare in the province.

Roughly 100-150k net operating income, depending on how you manage costs. So if you have an investment of 10M it'll take over 5 years to get your ROI.

if you are generic with 80,000 to 100,000 liters sales per month with at least 40% sales coming from gasoline, your NET income is around 350,000 and up if your price in your area is low. in baguio city and other places with high fuel pump price, your NET income should be more than 500,000.

if you are a petron bulilit and the like with the same sales volume, your net income is less than 100,000.

in my computation, NET income on 80KL volume (40% gasoline and 60% diesel) for branded station like petron bulilit is more or less equivalent to 20KL sales volume of a generic station with the same gaso to diesel sales ratio.

Highly dependent on where you are. If you're in an area with high pump prices like Baguio, then yes, there's probably a 4:1 spread between the margins of a branded station and a generic one. At almost 60 pesos per liter for gasoline, of course your margins are over 10 pesos per liter vs the usual 2.50-4.00/L that branded stations give.

But if you go to an area with compressed prices like Bamban or Gerona in Tarlac, the spread is much smaller. In fact there were times when I was practically making negative margins since we were matching pump prices of generics while keeping the assured 4 and 2.50 which were higher than what the generics were getting due to the price war in the area.

10M is actually on the low side of a decent branded station (approx 600-1500 sqm) in the province. Have built several branded stations and they range from about 8-15M depending on the size and finish. These of course are built to the company's higher standards - no Beilin dispensers here, all Tatsuno. A current project I'm helping out on inside Metro Manila is already over 25M+; company owned of course.

bumaba na pump price in baguio city (minus 5 pesos) due to protest initiated by the congressman but still mataas pa rin compared to nearby provinces. as of today, generic stations in baguio city earn 5 to 7 pesos on diesel and 12 to 16 pesos mark up on gasoline. pump price of branded stations are higher by 4 to 5 pesos compared to generics so i supposed the big three are earning too much in baguio city.

my area is one of those with lowest pump price in la union. generic mark up is only 2-3 pesos on diesel and 8 to 9 pesos on gasoline.

may tanong lang ako. 2.5 to 4 pesos mark-up ba talaga bigay branded to all of their franchisee including the bulilit one? ang sabi ng mga petron bulilit stations dito 1.3 pesos on the average mark up nila sa diesel and 1.7 pesos on on the average sa gasoline. ganon daw kaliit so hindi mo sila masisi kung magpapa dumping sila from outside sources. also when i inquire before sa petron on the mark up, hindi rin ganon kalaki bigay nila so i decided to go generic. there are three petron bulilit near my area and i talk to the owners from time to time concerning price movements. of course i also inquire on their capital investments so i have an idea on how much a petron bulilit cost.
