  • In a statement, Petron said that the performance run was observed and certified by representatives from the Department of Energy-Energy Utilization Management Bureau, Automobile Association of the Philippines, and Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists.

    During the test runs, a total of 12 vehicles were subjected to real-world driving conditions by covering 258 kilometers of Bataan up the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX).

    Participants in the event first benchmark fuel efficiency data and driver ratings using regular diesel.

These results confirm that most diesel engine vehicles, whether new or old, can improve their fuel efficiency with the continued use of Petron Turbo Diesel,” the company said in a statement.

    “Further, its proven ability to effectively clean up the fuel injection system and then preserve its cleanliness delivers exceptional protection and maintains optimum performance,” the marque added in the press release.
