Songpa-gu Designates Samjeon Gas Station and Samhwa Self Gas Station as Model Gas Stations

Fuel Price and On-Site Survey Conducted at 33 Gas Stations

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) has selected Samjeon Gas Station and Samhwa Self Gas Station, located within the district, as the '2020 Model Gas Stations.'

Since 2013, Songpa-gu has been selecting model gas stations to encourage healthy competition among gas stations, reduce fuel costs for local residents, and contribute to the stabilization of fuel prices.

First, using the fuel price information system (www.opinet.co.kr), the prices of 33 gas stations in Songpa-gu were surveyed over one year. From this, 10 gas stations were shortlisted.

Then, from December 2 to 6, Songpa-gu officials visited the 10 gas stations directly to inspect items such as quality, price display system, administrative sanctions, restroom hygiene, convenience facilities, and friendliness.

As a result, two gas stations that offered low prices and scored high in cleanliness and other aspects were selected as the 2020 Model Gas Stations.

After designation, the model gas stations displayed the 'Model Gas Station Plaque.' Additionally, Songpa-gu actively informs consumers by posting the gas stations' names and addresses on the district website and newsletters.

For the model gas stations' public restrooms, Songpa-gu also provides detergent, tissue, and volume-based waste bags.

Songpa-gu designates model gas stations annually. However, if a gas station sells similar petroleum products or has received administrative sanctions for violating the Petroleum and Petroleum Substitute Fuel Business Act, its designation as a model gas station is revoked.

Mayor Park Seong-su of Songpa-gu stated, "We selected model gas stations to inform consumers about affordable and well-equipped gas stations," adding, "Through this, we aim to reduce fuel cost burdens for local residents and contribute to the stabilization of fuel prices."
