For three years now, Petronas is currently the only fuel company in Malaysia that offers its customers the ability for remote cashless refueling at its stations via the Setel mobile application. Looking to finally join in to this trend in the local scene is Chevron International’s Caltex fuel brand, which may soon be launching its own fuel e-payment application.
Spotted by local tipster Kevin Ng TK, the latter’s CaltexGO app is now available in early access via Google Play Store. That being said, most of its features are not currently available to Malaysian users at this time due to its current state. It is not known when Caltex is planning to debut the application, but the company did confirm through Kevin’s query in Facebook that a launch could be happening soon. It’s worth mentioning that although it is currently unavailable on the Apple App Store, CaltexGO will most likely be available for iOS users once its launches – based on its Singaporean release.
You can t count on UCount ads, watchdog tells Standard Bank customers 24 April 2021 - 12:22 Up to R5 back is a misleading claim by Standard Bank, says advertising watchdog. Image: Advertising Regulatory Board
One of SA s big five banks has been censured for practising “deception” in advertising for its rewards programme.
Standard Bank s UCount scheme offers “up to R5 back” per litre of fuel bought at a Caltex filling station.
After a ruling on Friday by the advertising watchdog, it has been ordered to withdraw the claim because it applies to only 1% of UCount customers.
The next best reward under the tiered UCount programme gives customers only R1.25 per litre, said the Advertising Regulatory Board.

Perth motorists advised to top up to save money 13 April
The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by over 30 cents per litre (cpl) to 157 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.
FuelWatch advises that on Wednesday 14 April 2021, most branded retailers are hiking their ULP price: 7-Eleven and Coles Express hiking by 42-46 cpl to 169.9 cpl; Caltex/Ampol, Caltex Woolworths and BP to 167.9 cpl; Puma to 167.7 cpl; and Vibe to 159.9 cpl.
Perth’s weekly petrol price cycle results in prices, on average, being cheapest on Monday and Tuesday and at their most expensive on Wednesday and Thursday – that’s why FuelWatch recommends filling up today.
