There are claims that 1% CME increases fuel mileage by 10-15% (or gives fuel savings of 10-15%) but these are largely un-proven because local chassis dynamometers needed for these tests are in-operational.
Let us help by determining our Fuel Consumption now (using 100% diesel) and later (using 1% pre-blended CME). By comparing before and after data, we can get indications of savings.
The indications may not be scientically acceptable but they will be good information. Not all biodiesels can deliver 10-15% Fuel Savings when added in minute percentages. Only CME can. By helping show this to the world, CME exports will increase & boost our economy. We also help in globally reducing emissions & saving on fuel.
My Terrano with a TD27 engine Turbo w/o intercooler, MT & 4WD gets 11.99km/L * 80kph with AC off in NLEX (Balintawak to Petron Lakeshore.)
What is your DIESEL Fuel Consumption?
