These days, when prices of commodities jack up, our wallets feel the pain. For motorists, they think of innovative ways to make up the most of the limited resources. Gasoline nowadays is a precious commodity and Filipinos can be creative in how to save fuel consumption.
In my personal experience as a motorist, fuel consumption has always been essential wherever I drive. At most, checking the engine, tyre pressure and turning off the car instead of running it on idle are just some of the things that I do to save gas. Also, I limit my speed to as much as 80 to 100 kilometers an hour. Beyond that, the engine would exert effort and would increase consumption. Another thing, if you are driving on manual transmission, avoid reaching the maximum rpm for a single gear. When you think the car has somehow reached near maximum, go changing gears.
With these such tips and ingenuity, Shell recognizes the Filipino motoristas by inviting them to share their ideas on how to make the most out of your gasoline consumption, and get a chance to join Team Philippines in Shell’s Eco-Marathon Asia.
Joining it is easy. Just have a valid driver’s license, shoot a video demonstrating ways to save gasoline and end up the video with “Ang Pinoy na matipid sa gasolina, _______.” Then, your fuel saving tips can be uploaded at www.topgear.com.ph/shellsmartestdrivers. Deadline of submission is on June 20, 2010.
All who have joined will have Shell premium items. The lucky ten finalists will receive P10,000 worth of Shell fuel vouchers and join the fuel saver’s camp on June 26. The best among the rest would be declared as “Philippines’ Smartest Drivers” and would join Team Philippines in the first Shell Eco-Marathon Asia in Malaysia on July 8th to 11th. The event would make the best out of Asian drivers and get a chance to win a fuel-efficient car!
So, have your knowledge shared to the rest of the Filipinos on how to save gas on driving and get a chance to be the Philippines’ Smartest Driver!
