The 2bob discount was a brilliant idea. I have noticed that on Tuesdays and Fridays there are long queues at their stations.

Bearing in mind that many people fuel their cars twice a week, motorists have now timed their fueling days to coincide with the discount days.

I wonder how much pinch the other dealers are feeling.

Come to think of it; isn't this the kind of market control that NOCK was supposed to be doing?

Been wondering if they are making cash or just strangling the opposition to death - already the independents are in rigor mortis. I can't recall the margins set by the ERC formula for wholesalers and retailers, but assuming KK is taking up both (unlikely as they have franchised and don't own the petrol stations) the total margin can't be more than ksh 5/- which is the discount I get on Sundays.
Unless they are working on margins of say 50cts and making sure they ramp up the volumes.

@Mukiha, you should see the queues on Sunday when it is 3 bob off the pump price....but i'm informed of a place in Buruburu where the fuel remains less 2 shillings any day of the week, not confirmed yet...

Don't forget Super Sunday offer! And the K-card which locks in more drivers as well. Didn't you notice NOCK belatedly launcing their fuel card? (Can't even recall it's name now!)

Total and Shell have had cards for more that 10 years and have already taken the big companies with fleets hence KK we be up against an uphill task to convince them to change.
