Myth: Premium fuel is always better for my car.

Truth: The higher the octane rating, the more expensive the fuel is. But this does not equate to fuel efficiency. The best fuel will always depend on the vehicle you drive. Have a look at your vehicle’s manual and follow the fuel specifications. Otherwise, you’ll be paying extra per liter without any added benefits.

Myth: I have to fuel up early in the day or late at night when it’s colder to get more gas.

Truth: Liquids expand when heated and contract when cold; that’s why most people say that you get denser fuel when you gas up during the colder temperatures. However, note where the fuel is being pumped out—from underground tanks at a constant temperature. With the standards that are employed now, all underground tanks are capable of doing this. Fueling up does not have to be time-dependent. So instead, fuel up at your own pace.

Myth: Turning the AC off and rolling the windows down will cut my fuel consumption.

Truth: This is not necessarily the case for all situations. When driving at slower speeds, turning off the AC and rolling the windows down is better, as the AC will consume fuel. However, rolling your windows down at highway speeds will create more aerodynamic drag that will reduce your fuel efficiency.

Myth: I have to queue for hours in a gas station to fuel up before a price hike, to catch up on lower gas prices.

Truth: While this is the case for most, SEAOIL customers who are using the PriceLOCQ app have the liberty to lock fuel prices and virtually buy fuel through the app for later redemption.
