Petron Gasul

“Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista!”
Petron Gasul guarantees quality and safety


Many of us take our kitchen LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supply for granted; but home safety considerations should make us pay more attention to the quality of our cooking LPG. This is the essence of the new slogan Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista, which highlights the essential safety, quality and authenticity features of the trusted Petron Gasul brand.

Sub-standard or illegally refilled LPG cylinders may be marginally cheaper but sacrifice safety standards, which could lead to accidents and the loss of lives and property. Unscrupulous suppliers may also skimp on the LPG cylinder’s fuel content, loading less than the claimed weight. And, most importantly, there is the issue of LPG quality, which can be detected through the quality of the flame produced.

Petron Gasul cylinders are manufactured to meet stringent safety standards including wall thickness, weld integrity and valve fitting. This ensures that the highly-combustible gas is safely contained in the LPG tank and poses no danger to your family.

LPG is sold by weight, with prices fluctuating on a per kilogram basis depending on world market prices. As ordinary consumers, a reliable brand like Petron Gasul gives us the assurance that we are indeed getting the correct amount of LPG that we pay for.

Poor-quality LPG produces a smoky yellowish flame that coats our pots and pans with black soot. Because of the lower burning temperature of the flame, this means higher consumption of LPG. Petron Gasul produces a clean-burning true-blue flame that is more economical while keeping your kitchen smoke-free and your pots and pans clean.

Protect your home and family. Ensure that the LPG you use in your home is safe, authentic, filled to the correct weight, and produces a true-blue flame. For your peace of mind, choose the laser-sealed Petron Gasul, the reliable partner of millions of Filipino households.

100-octane Petron Blaze rolled out; powers AAP Caravan


Ultra-high performance.  Nothing comes close to the new formulation of Petron Blaze, possibly the only pure unleaded gasoline offered in the country.  With its extremely high octane rating, Petron Blaze maximizes engine performance while ensuring improved fuel economy with cleaner emissions.

Petron Blaze is a pure, highly refined fuel that not only promises excellent performance during engine start-up but also delivers sustained and consistent high engine performance.  Formulated with a special blend of octane booster and multi-functional additive that produces superior combustion, using Petron Blaze ensures advanced performance benefits such as:  cleaning of carburetors, port fuel injectors and inlet valves; reduction of combustion chamber deposits; reduction of octane requirement increase; improved fuel economy; cleaner emissions; and longer catalyst life.

Bringing these ultra-performance benefits to ordinary motorists, Petron Blaze was the official fuel provider of the 2nd Drive Tour Caravan mounted by the Automobile Association of the Philippines last 27 November 2010.  The caravan, which flagged off from Petron Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City, took the Coastal Road to stop at the De La Salle Museum in Dasmarinas, Cavite.  It then proceeded to the GBR Museum in Gen. Trias, Cavite, before proceeding to the Tagaytay Ridge overlooking the scenic Taal Lake, where the day-trippers stopped at the spacious Petron Aguinaldo Highway for some Magnolia ice cream courtesy of Petron Treats.

The convoy then moved on to the historic Taal Town, to view the famous ancestral homes and other historic structures.  Next stop was a visit to the Old Taal Church in San Nicolas, Batangas before proceeding to the provincial capitol in Batangas City, where the participants were treated to native delicacies.  Last pit stop on the way home was Petron Star Toll, capping a most enjoyable day of driving and sightseeing.

Participants to the 2nd AAP Drive Tour Caravan were privileged to enjoy the ultra-high performance of Petron Blaze, and were able to experience its enhanced benefits in actual Philippine driving conditions.  Even owners of vintage cars were assured that the country’s only pure, high-octane unleaded gasoline would be able to protect their priceless vehicles.  

Petron Blaze is positioned not only for luxury vehicles.  In fact, a number of ordinary motorists have expressed a preference for Petron Blaze because the benefits of improved performance and engine protection would translate, in the long run, to lower operating and maintenance costs. 

With its 100-octane rating, Petron Blaze has exceptional resistance to engine knocking which damages car engines quite quickly, and can also result in uneven fuel burn and greater fuel consumption.  Petron chairman and CEO Ramon S. Ang, himself a car aficionado, noted that, “As the market leader in the Philippine oil sector, we deem it our responsibility to introduce revolutionary products that are relevant to Filipino motorists.”

The new 100-octane Petron Blaze is now available at select Petron stations nationwide.  The company also recently introduced two new fuel products namely the Petron Turbo Diesel and Pinoy Gasoline.  Petron Turbo Diesel is formulated for common rail direct injection (CRDI) as well as older engine types for optimum performance.  Pinoy Gasoline, meanwhile, is a more affordable gasoline formulation for public utility vehicles such as tricycles and taxis, as well as bancas and farm equipment.

Petron Corporation is the largest oil refining and marketing company in the Philippines.  Its Bataan oil refinery produces a full range of petroleum products to supply nearly 40% of the country’s fuel requirements.
