“Unleaded. Full tank”
This was my request to the manong attendant at the gasoline station yesterday.
“Sir, sero sero poh”
Was the attendant’s reply indicating that the gasoline gauge/meter/counter is at zero (meaning you start the gas fill up from scratch/zero)
Actually my car’s fuel tank is not yet nearing the E bar (E = empty) but I heard that the big gasoline companies LOVE the consumers so much and to show their deep affection they altogether decided to give them some good ol’ price hike.
I took some pic of the gas prices yesterday (before the hike) and I remember that during the early days of my blog (2009) I kept track of the lowest gasoline prices around Metro Manila and share my findings here in my blog.
So in the tradition of my six cafe world cheats, my six free wow cheats, my six new Philippine money, my six tagalog love quotes and my free six video posts, here are some six pictures of the Lowest Unleaded Gasoline Prices way back then 🙂

And come Year 2011
OK. I understand that a lot of things happened between August 2009 and July 2011.
But I am just posting this as a reflection of what an ordinary consumer feels with the rising prices of gasoline and related products in Philippines.
Crazy.
