Fuel Economy Run Provides Credible Benchmarks for Filipinos to Embrace Energy-Efficient Driving and Cleaner Transport.
– Alex A – Lifestyle On Wheels
The push for a greener lifestyle just got a massive real-world test. The 2025 DOE-Petron Fuel Economy Run wasn’t a race. It was a masterclass in efficiency. It proves that saving energy is both practical and attainable for Filipino motorists.
Organized by the Department of Energy (DOE), Petron Corporation, and leading automotive players, the event saw nearly 70 vehicles—including internal combustion (ICE), hybrid (HEV/PHEV), and fully electric (BEV) models—tackle a 156-kilometer stretch of the TPLEX. The goal? To provide credible benchmarks on fuel performance under real-world expressway conditions.
Why does this matter to you? The transport sector consumes about 34% (GEMP data) of the country’s total energy. By shifting to more efficient vehicles and fuels, we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This effort lessens dependence on imported fuel and improves air quality.
As Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin noted, this initiative provides vital data to guide consumers. The results, soon to be published on the DOE website, will be your practical reference for smart vehicle choices.
Smart Driver’s Key Takeaways:
- Credible Data: Use the DOE’s published results as your guide for purchasing efficient vehicles that meet your needs.
- Fuel Matters: The Petron Turbo Diesel and PetronXCS premium gasoline reinforce their role in using quality fuels in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles.
- Future-Proofing: The inclusion of BEVs and PHEVs, supported by Petron charging stations, highlights the accelerating shift to cleaner, sustainable mobility in the Philippines.
This collaboration is a true demonstration of the “Bagong Pilipinas” spirit. This uniting of government, industry, and consumers helps to achieve energy security while promoting environmental sustainability.
By making smart choices on the road, you’re not just saving gas. You’re driving the nation toward a cleaner, more efficient future. We at Lifestyle On Wheels are ready to apply these benchmarks to our own driving habits. What about you?
