When I was a kid and didn't know any better, I assumed that all gas stations had the same prices. I…read morewas always so confused why my dad went out of his way to go to a particular branch of a particular gas company just so we could fill up. Little did I know that the differences between branches could be huge. The cheapest place to get gas in the whole of Manila (barring army or ADB privileges, I guess) is in Fairview. The proprietors there are supposedly into a price war but it's something I can't confirm. What I can vet on however, is the inexpensive gas. Usually the Petron near the Dona Carmen subdivision is around two pesos cheaper than the average going price in Manila. Going here just to get gas won't be financially sound, but if for some reason you find yourself nearby, better get a full tank.

They do their best to service their customers. Have been filling up there for several years.read more

This is the only gas station you will get gas from if you're stuck in traffic along McKinley Road…read more Once you see the gas indicator of your car flashing, this is your salvation! They have a few restaurants here. There is Balai Pandesal and also Dakasi. Also, behind the gas station is a bus stop and jeepney stop for people who are traveling to and from BGC/Makati. The only reason I gave this gas station a 4 Star is because the gas prices are a bit more expensive here. That's understandable because of it's location. So, good luck to you fellow traveller!

Driving by the Shell of Asia along NLEX never fails to elicit a giggle out of me because, for one,…read morewhat is with that name? Shell of Asia, really? Also, since when did gas stations become monstrous malls, complete with clothing outlets and a plethora of restaurants? Well, all those insults go out the window when you have a full bladder and you have to stop somewhere before you end up scrubbing piss out of your car's floors. I meant it when I said that the Shell of Asia is basically a mall. It has some of the best restaurant selections in the metro, AND it has the largest PUMA outlet in the country. I think it also has decent outlets for Adidas and Giordano. Basically a one stop shop for any shopaholic traveller.

This is one of the nearest gasoline stations near to my place, and I often go here to purchase a…read morelot of goods and services: gasoline, oil change, air for tires, even LPG tanks for the house stove. There is a free general check up for cars whenever my car's having an oil change and the mechanic always tells me what needs immediate replacement of parts. I love how the branch is conveniently placed, though sometimes the cost of gasoline here is a bit more expensive than other Petron branches nearby. I also like that it has a convenience store, and I can have my RFID-Sweep card reloaded for fast travels in SLEX.

The Shell station along Dona Soledad Extension has become our favorite for filling up despite being…read morea little out of the way when we are headed for Manila or Makati. The reason is that the service they provide is just a wee but friendlier and faster than its competitors, of which there are three others along Dona Soledad Avenue. There may be differences in the price of gasoline, but these are almost inconsequential. As for performance, it's really hard to tell the difference. It's enough to say that all gasolines sold in the country deliver the goods. Some may be better than others, but just like the differences in pricing, the differences are hardly noticeable. Like many of the full service gas stations, this one has a place to rest and have a bite and a drink. In this case, it's a MiniStop, which opened very recently. Need to use the john? They allow anyone to use theirs, even ordinary commuters. What I like best about this station is the openness. It's not as crowded as the other gas stations in the vicinity. If anyone tells you that all gas stations are the same, don't believe it. Some are really better than others, and in the case of this Shell station along Dona Soledad Extension very near the corner of Russia, both service and products are A-1 for me. Four stars for this service station, folks.
