Story from the road in Kotse.com and Shell FuelSave's Save on Your Summer Road Trip
Words by Niky Tamayo | Photos by Ken Tamayo
It was a special Sunday last June 10, 2012 for the winners of Kotse.com and Shell FuelSave's “Save on Your Summer Road Trip” contest. So maybe summer’s over, but that didn’t stop us from treating them and a bunch of their friends to a road trip and having fun. Ford Philippines was also kind enough to lend us three brand-spanking-new Fiesta Sport Plus' for the drive so we can find out for ourselves just how frugal their hot hatch really is.
Over the summer, Kotse.com and Shell FuelSave held a contest asking people to send in a photo showing their best fuel saving habits. The winners received free fuel and other goodies from Shell FuelSave, as well as an invitation to Kotse.com's FuelSave Workshop on a summer road trip. During the out of town workshop, we got to see some sights, eat some good food, and learn a bit about fuel economy. We also got to watch Pacquiao beat Bradley to within an inch of his life, only to lose on the judges’ scorecards. At least we were well-fed.

Shell FuelSave Index reveals Filipino drivers has top fuel saving awareness in Asia
With the poor traffic conditions and high fuel prices in the Philippines, it comes as no surprise when the latest Shell FuelSave Index shows that Filipino drivers has the top fuel saving awareness in Asia.
According to the study, 94% of those surveyed see fuel efficiency as an important way to save money. That pretty much explains why 87% of them are willing to change their driving behavior to save fuel. Better yet, 85% have actually changed the way they drive to reduce fuel consumption. However, the index has revealed that 20% say that more education and information is needed in order for Filipinos to learn how to drive more efficiently.
So in response to these findings, Shell launched the “Target One Million” campaign to help one million motorists across the globe learn how to save fuel.

Buy a Fiesta this summer, get a full tank FREE from Shell
Some of you might have already learned this from experience that, the very first stop you'll ever make in your brand new car is not your house, a mall, or a restaurant, but the nearest gas station. You see, most dealerships only pour in just enough fuel to be able to move their stockpile of cars around the storage bay, leaving you the hassle of having to fill it up after. But this summer, worry no more because Shell and Ford are teaming up to give you the perfect combo so you can start enjoying better fuel economy with Shell FuelSave.

We know that Shell's FuelSave campaign is taking the world by storm, but who could have thought that the British oil giant would, one day bring it to the record books. With 3,243 participants globally, 736 of which were from the Philippines, joined together to successfully set the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Fuel Efficiency Lesson.” Dubbed as the Global Shell FuelSave Day, the record attempt staged simultaneous training sessions on how motorists can save fuel and cut their driving costs which involved 11 cities across Europe and Asia, including Metro Manila and Iloilo City.
The world record attempt was overseen by Guinness and a team of local adjudicators, where a new Guinness World Record was officially announced at 6:30pm Philippine time.

We can't stop fuel prices from going up, up, and away, but Shell reckons that their newest fuel recipe is the answer to our pump gas problems. Beginning July 15, 2011, Shell FuelSave Unleaded and FuelSave Diesel will find its way to Shell stations in Luzon, making it Shell's most advanced fuel economy formula in the Philippines.
