Tips and Discounts: Here's How You Can Save Money on Gas

Fuel prices continue to soar and Filipinos are feeling its effects. Department of Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi is even considering the possibility of gasoline reaching P100/liter soon. Why are gas prices rising? Lots of factors could contribute to fuel price hikes but it’s largely due to the war between Russia and Ukraine and the rise of inflation. It looks like these prices aren’t about to go down any time soon so it’s time to look for ways to save money. Check out these tips, discounts, and promos to help you knock a few pesos off your receipt and save money on gas.

So if you purchase today at P62/liter, even if you redeem that on a day that the fuel has increased to P70/liter, that price won’t affect you.

Unfortunately, there’s no saying when these fuel hikes will stop.

They’re eco-friendly, they don’t need fuel to work, and they don’t get stuck in traffic either. If you’re mulling over getting either one, this quick pros and cons on bicycles vs. electric scooters might just help you make up your mind.
