Bootleg Gas Stations

Fake versions of everything abound in the Philippines. How about fake gas stations?



Would you buy gasoline from these guys? Could be a scam. They dilute the gas and then when your motorcycle breaks down they offer to fix it for you. Nah maybe that's just paranoia. Surely these fellows are fine upstanding young men just trying to make it any way they can in this cold, hard world.

Would you buy a liter of gas from these stands?



Whats the point even? Gas stations are not that expensive or rare. Who knows where this gas came from or if it has impurities? Actually the gas is probably ok. I posted a picture a while back of a guy filling up a huge barrel with gas which is likely how these guys get the gas they are selling in coca-cola bottles.

So why not just fill up at the gas station? Why must there be bootleg gas vendors? Is there really that much profit in this venture?
