Business Editors Log Farthest Distance
Posted 19 January 2007
In the latest incarnation of its trademark marathon fuel economy run, Petron once again reconfirmed the superior performance of its Petron Xtra Unleaded gasoline, with the winning team traveling 1,343.7-kilometers on one full tank.
Team Floresca-Perez, driving a Honda Jazz 1.3-CVT, outlasted nine other media teams, finally running out of fuel in Polangui, Albay, after having traversed the entire length of Luzon from Bangui, Ilocos Norte, all the way down to Matnog, Sorsogon, and then back-tracking to Albay.
Roman Floresca, assistant business editor of The Philippine Star, and Delfin Perez, assistant business editor of Manila Bulletin, surprised everyone with their first-place finish. While they were not able to break the standing 1,400-km record, both men were pleased with their achievement. At an estimated 31.99 kilometers per liter, the feat was certainly outstanding.

Look for the octane rating
The Power of Premium Gasoline
When it comes to fuel selection, we motorists tend to lean towards fuels with lower prices. What we don’t realize is, if our aim is to save on fuel consumption and, in effect, on the amount we spend every time we gas up our cars, we should consider more than just cost per liter. If we really want to get the most out of our cars and the fuel we put in them, the actual numbers we should focus on are the octane ratings.
