Guest · Post by **Guest** » 30.07.2007, 12:49

I just expanded my gas station in Germany to 40m2

How many adverts do I need to sell 2,000 litres of gas in 24 hours??

Please help

Perhaps you should adjust the price or the amount.

This might help...

Just set your Q0 price to ~21 caps. That should be around 24 hours. Also, don't forget to hire 2 more employees.

Don't advertise at all until your building is about 100m2.

21.00? are you sure? isn't it too cheap for gas?

i'm selling it for 30.00 and it takes about 52 hrs T_T

52 hours?!? No, no, no. You need to set it at a price that would change over either in 14 hours or 24. 14 hours is the best but 24 hours works rather well, too.

altough i am an firm believer of selling above the average price, you should try to sell gas in 24 hour turnovers on stores that have no adds, with Q0 the price should be at ~21-23 caps, when you get your stores to 100m^2 you should fill them up with adds and then you can do 12 hour turnovers.
dont worry to much about selling your Q0 below the average price in 24 hours, with the amount of <edited out> selling in 2-3 hour turnovers the gas business is going down to fast for you to be able to hold it up.

For your information my 100m gas stations in France, with full ads, turn over Q4 gas at the price of 30 in 23.5 hours. However, it changes every day. Two days ago I had to raise the price of gas to 32.31 to hit 24 hours.

Start filling your store with ads when you have a 100 m

Time you put out a spreadsheet and find the highest profit/hr. You will find that by setting the price that high, you loose out on enormous amounts of money.

Just a hint

ok, I just tried it out today
I put 2000 Q0 gas at 23c each and will be sold out in 23 hours

Thank you for all your tips.......
well any idea on what to do with my grocery in Mauritania??
I built it and expanded it when i just started the game..........
never earns a profit though, at first I thought the supply and demand graph in Mauritania with demand higher than France and a supply which is lowest in kapilands

I put in 2083 adverts but nothing happens.........

Hehehe My Gas station is filled with Hi-Quality Gas and It doesn't took so long...

Adverts usually Decrease your Selling time. Just put around 58-60k adverts on the store... you can sell in half time.

Anything above 40,000 is a waste of money, you can absolutely NO benefit from those extra ads.

May I quote myself again?

[quote="GoldenEye's "Advice of the week""]Advertisement

When you have got your own shops you need some ads to make them more popular. Why to do so? Then you can sell your products faster.
And keep in mind: When you want to produce ads you should produce them in green, otherwise it will always be too expensive.
And you should be careful when you buy ads, because you have to think about the ad-points (AP).
Ads Q0 have got 1 AP, Ads Q1 have got 2 AP, Ads Q2 have got 3 AP and so on.
So you always should calculate the price of the single APs, not the price of the unit.
And one final thing: You can fill as much ads in your stores as you want to, but you will only notice an effect until 40,000 AP (= 100% popularity)
