ME S S AG E

Allow me to express my heartfelt congratulations to the organizers of the Department ofEnergy (DOE) Euro 4 Fuel Economy Run 2016, especially to our Energy Utilization

Management Bureau and partner company, Petron Corporation, for productively stagingthis worthwhile milestone event towards energy efficiency and environmental protection.

The DOE also takes pride in collaborating with car manufacturers, importers, and dealersas their active participation reinforces the promotion of fuel economy in vehicles. This isespecially remarkable with the government’s mandatory implementation of the Euro 4Fuel standard around the country beginning this year.

As an important consideration in every fuel economy run, the DOE is keen about vehiclemaintenance and driving proficiencies in acquiring necessary data to determine fuelconsumption efficiency, which is a vital information to stimulate intellectual discussionsand smart consumption within the road transportation sector. The DOE also took note of

the wide reach of this activity to spread awareness on its noble energy efficiencyobjective. It is in this sense that we sincerely appreciate the unrelenting support of theenergy, environment and transportation stakeholders toward the government’s vision forcleaner and responsible transport sector.

The DOE hopes to expand its cooperation with other companies to provide a moreenvironment-friendly and more sustainable fuel supply to the Filipinos. Let us remaincognizant of the judicious utilization of our energy resources as this may impact theenvironment when abused. Let us also continue to empower the consumers to instillefficiency when buying and using energy-consuming products (i.e., fuels & vehicles) tofurther reduce the carbon footprint of the country.

On behalf of the DOE family, we thank you for being staunch advocates of energyefficiency and conservation, and cleaner and sustainable energy. Rest assured of theDOE’s continued dynamism in encouraging industries towards underlining theseadvocacies.

Thank you and more power!

On a sunny Thursday morning, the Petron Clark Station was abuzzwith excitement at the arrival of a total of 70 cars of all shapesand sizes, from different car companies for the staging of thecountry’s first Euro 4 Fuel Eco Run.

Euro 4 Fuel Eco Run



As soon as the vehicles were lined up neatly,Petron and the Department of Energy (DOE)

employees separated diesel (38) fromgas-powered (32) cars, numbered themaccordingly, and topped their tanks up withcorresponding Petron Euro 4 fuels. To make surethat the eco run was done cleanly, fuel doors andtrunks were sealed with an official sticker, whichwas to be removed at the end of the run.

To further spread the awareness for fuel-economyconsciousness, members of the media wereinvited to participate and serve as observers.After a sumptuous dinner at Binulo restaurant,participating members of the press werebriefed and given guidelines to observe during

300-kilometer trip. An observer was assigned to arandom car and was instructed to take note if thedriver-navigator teams complied with the followingguidelines: a 60-80kph speed limit, have theair-conditioner running, and keep the stickersintact.



With midnight fast-approaching, the media observersmade their way to their respective vehicles, and soon

after everyone was settled in, the flag off started.Gas-fed vehicles took off first, and after the 5-minuteinterval was up, diesel-run cars followed. The cars wereable to stretch their legs and test their fuel mileagealong the 300-kilometer stretch that is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and Tarlac-Pangasinan-LaUnion Expressway (TPLEX). The convoy took around 5hours to return to the start/finish point at the PetronClark Station.

Once there, participants got to enjoy breakfast and fillthe air with fun stories and experiences shared duringthe entire run. The vehicles were then pushed to thefuel stations to log their fuel consumption figures and

have them refilled.

As the official fuel of the first Euro 4 Fuel EconomyRun in the country, Petron sets another benchmarkin providing Filipino motorists with comparable fuelefficiency ratings which can help them make moreinformed purchase decisions.
