First DOE E10 Fuel Economy Run slated on November 27
Quezon City (26 November) -- The Department of Energy has been conducting fuel economy runs since 2002 promoting fuel economy consciousness and consumer empowerment by obtaining data on actual fuel consumption of passenger vehicles based on the actual driving conditions employing fuel efficiency measures and techniques.
The DOE will conduct yet another fuel economy run on November 27 but this time it will be called the First DOE E10 Fuel Economy Run because this will have a good comparative study of the fuel economy rating of the latest different gasoline-fed vehicle models fueled byE10 blended 93% octane gasoline with those of the gasoline-fueled entries of the previous fuel economy runs. The eco run route will be from DOE to Subic and then back to DOE covering a total distance of 312 kilometers.
The objective of this event is to advocate the efficient utilization of fuel in the transport sector by applying fuel efficient driving techniques, demonstrate the important role the driver plays in achieving substantial reduction in fuel consumption and maintenance cost, provide vital information on the fuel economy the fuel economy rating performance of the different brand new vehicles, and make comparative analysis with the data obtained from the previous fuel economy runs.
The participants of the said activity are the existing stocks of different vehicle models of participating car manufacturers. They are divided into three categories. The Passenger Cars ( less than 1.3 L engine displacement, 1.3L-1.5L, 1.6L-1.8L, 2.0L and above), the SUVs and the APVs/MPVs. All participants will be fueled by Total Premier Unleaded provided by our sponsor Total (Philippines) Corporation. (PIA) [top]
