For the past few years where fuel prices have continuously and uncontrollably skyrocketed, the only thing we CAN control is our driving habit.
Here are some fuel saving tips that I myself had been personally practicing:
- Don't wait for the engine to exert effort. Know the right time to shift.
- Tire pressure must constantly be checked.
- Don't speed up in the metro. You'll be wasting 2 things. 1, Gas. 2, breaks.
In lieu with that, Pilipinas Shell has an on-going campaign promoting fuel efficiency. They are in search for the country's smartest drivers.
If you like to join the campaign, just log on to www.topgear.com.ph/shellsmartestdrivers. Everyone with a valid driver's license can join. Just shoot a short video clip on how to minimize your fuel consumption and close it by completing the catch phrase, “Ang Pinoy na matipid sa gasolina, ____________.”
This is a great campaign! A win-win situation as EVERYONE who join gets a premium item from Shell! Not only that, the ten finalists will be awarded 10,000 pesos worth of Shell fuel vouchers AND will be invited to a fuel economy boot camp on June 26, 2010. They will be joining a driving challenge and the top 2 most fuel efficient finalists will be hailed as the Philippines' smartest driver!
The 2 winners will then go to Malaysia on July 8 to 11, 2010 and join other teams from Mapua, Don Bosco, UST and participate in the FIRST ever Shell Eco-Marathon in Asia. The teams will compete with teams from other countries and the most efficient driver would win a fuel efficient car!
But you know what? The best part here is you, imparting your fuel efficiency knowledge to other drivers thus helping make the environment a better place to live in!
