China‑Owned SPC Keeps Prices Steady While Rivals Bite the Dollar
It’s been a while since the China‑run SPC first hit the pump on July 7, and guess what? They’re still keeping their fuel prices locked down. While all the competition is raising their rates by six to eight cents a litre, SPC’s riders get to keep their wallets a little slimmer. If you’ve been watching the fuel‑price drama, you’ll see SPC slipping under the radar – daring to let their rivals grow more expensive while they stand firm.
Why so Cool?
- No price hike since July – and that’s a win for motorists.
- Competitors up 6–8¢/L – feel that sting?
- SPC stays low – they’re basically the “budget hero” of the fuel world.
So the next time you’re paying for fuel, just remember the SPC promise: keep your hard‑earned cash where it belongs – in your pocket.
