Fantastic fuel performance by the Hondas

The 3rd Leg of the Honda-Petron Xtra Amazing Fuel Eco Run went smoothly and for the participants very excitingly last weekend in Pangasinan. The goal of Honda Cars Philippines (HCPI) in organizing these series of "eco-runs" all over the country is to promote fuel economy awareness and demonstrate the Honda i-DSI engine’s excellent fuel consumption.

This particular leg organized through the help of the Honda Cars Pangasinan Dealership was a more than 50 kilometer run on concrete and asphalt roads that started in Lucao in Dagupan City and ended in Lucap, Alaminos City.

The event was open to 1.3 Honda City and 1.3 Honda Jazz owners with a minimum of two participants per car composing of at least the driver and navigator.

The HCPI group came in full force headed by Arnel Doria, deputy head for marketing with Tintin Reyes, Sheryl delos Santos, Art Briones and Albert Teneros to name some. HCPI president Takashi Sekiguchi was also scheduled to grace the dual-event but political events last Friday prevented Sekiguchi-san from making the trip. It was actually a dual event because aside from the eco-run, Saturday, February 25 was also the 13th anniversary of the Honda Pangasinan Dealership that’s headed by Herman Chong, president and general manager and executive vice president Melchor Co.

Our TV production staff that covered the event also took the opportunity to accept the invitation from Honda Cars Philippines to tape an episode of Auto Focus, the premier motor show on Philippine television that centers solely on the automobile and the automotive industry. We did the show right at the showroom and lounge of Honda Cars Pangasinan, the anniversary celebrant with interviews with the dealership’s top guns, brothers Herman and Melchor.

Browsing through the fantastic results of the fuel run, what really caught my attention was the outstanding fuel performance of 37.1 kilometers per liter registered by the winning team of Michael and Mary Grace Asuncion in the Jazz Automatic category. The winners in the Jazz Manual category, Manuel Serafica and Raul Carunungan, themselves registered amazing figures like 32.2 kilometers to a liter but this virtually made a myth out of the common notion that automatics consume more fuel than those with manual transmission.

The difference in fuel performance in the City’s Automatic and the Manual was not that dramatic but no less still fantastic and amazing with the Manual category being toped by the team of Ronald Geronimo and Hubert Sy Tu with 32.1 kilometers per liter while in the Automatic category the tandem of Red Erfe Mejia and Tintin Canillas came first with a 31.3 kilometers per liter performance. All winning teams became P10,000 richer after the awarding ceremonies held at the Don Gonzalo Montemayor Wharf overlooking the very beautiful world-renowned Hundred Islands of Alaminos.

Next stop for the Honda-Petron Xtra Amazing Fuel Eco Run is Cebu to be followed by Davao. Well, Honda Cars Philippines indeed has those fuel-misers in their hands — might as well flaunt them.

Yeah, I know he covers events like these, I just thought based on your previous post which seem to imply that he does something else or that his presence there has some kind of double meaning or hidden agendas. that's all.
