    Cliffs
    - philippines tops malaysia and thailand for being most fuel efficient drivers
    - we are the best at fuel saving techniques
    - we are know to be smart and frugal

    I think tsikot.com had a major contribution in teaching pinoys fuel saving tips hehe.

    really?? di siguro nag interview ng mga PUJ/PUB drivers ang paper. tagal nilang tumatambay sa terminals habang naghihintay ng pasahero tapos grabe pa humarurot mga to. hehe

    dala na rin siguro ng kahirapan kaya 'fuel efficient' ang mga pinoy. sana naman yung 'fuel efficient' strategies na ginagamit ay hindi naman nakakadelikado ng buhay like truck/jeepney drivers not engine braking when descending hills/mountains.

    They forgot to mention na di lang fuel efficient pinoy drivers (particularly the PUJ drivers) but matipid din sa kuryente. Imagine, gabi na di pa gumagamit ng ilaw! How efficient can they get!

    ooops, sorry, Thumbs Up HQ pala ito.

    Dahil sa Khaos daw. :D

    I agree with Coiter though. Another side of the coin is that we're really forced to conserve fuel because of belt tightening and budget constraints.

    Di ako nagugulat, slow vehicles on the fast lane, counterflowing to save a few meter (not kilometers) drive, making a turn, be it left, right or U, and slowly accelerating not thinking how fast the flow of traffic is. Ganito kasi mag drive ang mga pinoy, they drive slow tapos pag dadaanan mo to pass, say on the left side, lilipat sila ng lane to the left kung saan libre tapos they drive at their own pace 40-50kph. Drivers of trucks, transport (fx, taxi, jeepneys), private cars and most of all motorcycle riders do this.

    ayun, same sentiments ko.

    ang akin kasi, nahihiya ako sa likod ko kung babagalan ko tapos maluwag naman sa harap ko. ito ang kulang sa mga drivers dito, puro kapakanan lang nila ang iniisip nila kesyo kung paano makakatipid instead of just going to the right flow of speed of the traffic.

    besides sa khaos, ang dami pa fuel additives na binebenta to save on fuel... sana lang huwag tayo magtipid sa pagmaintain ng mga kotse natin... lalo sa mga simpleng bulbs ng taillight at headlight.hehe

    I somehow doubt that article, based on my experiences on the road of seeing idiots still accelerating too quickly despite seeing a very obvious red signal up ahead and only to brake at the last minute to stop, instead of just keeping your foot off the gas, letting the car just coast along and braking smoothly.

    its because of the gas cost. kaya you will always see a thread/topic/discussion on how much km/liter consumption.. i doubt that it would matter if we are also an oil producing country

    Ayos iyan bro.,- like they also put it at neutral gear (angel gear) and just coast along the road at every opportunity....
