The first post-Mike Black issue had a lot of horn blowing already (i think almost all the letters published were the congratulatory letters of manufacturers to the new EIC if i recall it right). Then the first editor's note was that of TG having to be made by "Automotive Journalists" rather than car enthusiasts... a complete irony from the last editors note of Mike Black on the magazine being one for car enthusiasts; by car enthusiasts
There's still room for improvement within... as always.
Flagg: the synths here wouldnt be as cost-effective due to our driving conditions (traffic,humidity,dust,etc) which does make the oil and engine more susceptible to being dirty... the synth oil can maintain it's original properties longer than mineral oil but the dirt contamination is still there (thats why its advised to change at least your oil filter at the 5000km mark pa rin if you extend your drain interval with synths).
I usually gas up in two stations only as much as possible even if the price is not exactly the lowest... keeps things consistent and it's on my regular route. My goal nowadays is not to get the cheapest fuel or to get one with the best advertised mileage but more on maximizing my trips and making my driving habits as fuel efficient as possible in the normal driiving conditions.Last edited by vinj; June 17th, 2006 at 09:49 AM.

June 30th, 2007 12:33 PM #43Is there any consumer report organization in the Philippines? Well, maybe it'll be a good time to start one specially for the gadgets. Which one works and which one doesn't. Everyone wants to know which one really works or comparing them is hard enough. I know for a fact that some of them does but it will really depend on many factors if it will work for you. I heard from a Makati dealership of big engine vehicles. (Alam nyo na cguro which one.) It really works for those engines. Not true though for the other manufacturers from the Land of the Rising Sun. Not all models anyway.
