Most Fuel Efficient Motorcycle in Philippines Did 129.87 km/L


Some 280 participants in the recently concluded SafeRun IV motorcycle competition proved that the keys to optimum motorcycle performance are: a well-conditioned motorcycle, good riding skills, and safe riding habits. Billed as “the ultimate safety and fuel efficiency reality challenge,” SafeRun IV is presented by industry leader Petron Corporation as part of its road safety advocacy. Different from the usual motorcycle events promoting endurance competition, SafeRun promotes safe riding including the observance of traffic rules and regulations as well as speed limits, which lead to fuel efficiency.

Categorized according to their motorcycle’s engine displacement, participants are required to cover 600 kilometers, stopping to fuel up at designated Petron stations which also serve as checkpoints. Competitors who log the best fuel efficiency (km/L) for their respective categories are declared winners. Participants who violate traffic rules and speed limits, and fail to arrive at the assigned checkpoint within the required time—whether too early or too late—are given demerit points or may be disqualified altogether.


Taking off from The Laus Group Center in San Fernando, Pampanga on March 9 and finishing on March 10, the top winners in the motorcycle and scooter categories were as follows:

Motorcycle Category
  • Class 1 100cc-115cc: Robby Malapitan (Yamaha Sight 115, 129.87 km/L)
  • Class 2 116cc-125cc: Rommel Enguerra (Kawasaki Z125, 67.67 km/L)
  • Class 3 126cc-150cc: Jun De La Rea (Honda CBR150R, 103.09 km/L
  • Class 4 151cc-200cc: John Mark Ramirez (TVS Apache 200, 77.22 km/L)
  • Class 5 201cc-399cc: John De La Cruz (BMW G310R, 58.18 km/L)
  • Class 6 400cc-649cc: Jeffrey Ocaya (Honda CB500, 37.76 km/L)
  • Class 7 650cc-799cc: Jerry Dizon (BMW X-Country 650, 36.86 km/L)
  • Class 8 800cc and up: Elizabeth Perez (Yamaha Tracer 900, 34.13 km/L)
Scooter Category
  • Class 1 Scooter 100cc-115cc Jester Carillo (Honda Beat 110, 89.29 km/L)
  • Class 2 Scooter 116cc-125cc Joel Sulquiano (Honda Click 125, 68.03 km/L)
  • Class 3 Scooter 126cc-150cc Edmond Navarro (Honda Click 150, 79.37 km/L)
  • Class 4 Scooter 151cc-200cc Venus Lorena Sibug (Yamaha Nmax 155, 55.56 km/L)
  • Class 5 Scooter 201cc-399cc Emmanuel Balmes (Kymco Xtown 300, 39.63 km/L)
  • Class 6 Scooter 400cc and up Oliver Navarro (Kymco Xciting 400i, 31.97 km/L)
According to Petron Local Station Manager Amerlino “Bong” Paguia, himself an avid motorcycle enthusiast: “Through this event, we would like to encourage riders to give due attention to their vehicle’s roadworthiness through proper maintenance which, when combined with good riding skills and observance of traffic rules, leads to both road safety and fuel efficiency. Of course, we also want to prove, through this event, that Petron Sprint motorcycle oils and Petron fuels are the best match to deliver outstanding performance in terms of fuel economy as well as long distance travel.”

  1. wow, ilagay mo na real world mileage 20-30 km/L, tapos maghimala ng 50% class 1 toll sa big bikes, baka pde nang ipalit na daily driver sa kotse. makabawas pa sa road congestion.

    1. Not to mention fixed rate parking haha.

      Kung wala lang masyadong g*gong nagnanakaw ng motor.

    2. better fuel mileage, cheaper and easier parking, no coding, (technically illegal, and difficult) lanesplitting...

      downside, delikado at di praktikal pag na-ulan, tapos mas mabilis magamit ang consumables like tires, fluids, etc.

      well, since starting price eh 400k-500k kahit kasama pa safety gear, mas mura parin kesa tipong wigo, mirage, brio etc. choices choices……

  2. Yung natipid mo sa gasolina, gagamitin mo namang pambayad sa ospital.

    1. Wala naman halos naaaksidente sa motor, pero maraming nadidisgrasya. Dalawa lang yan eh, either pabaya yung rider ng motor o kamote yung ibang motorista (ke 2-wheel o 4-wheel) sa paligid niya. Halos lahat ng risk factors na pwedeng isisi sa motor mismo, applicable din sa 4 wheels.

  3. truth be told, it's enticing to say the least lalo na yung promised of better fuel economy. Pero safety is a big factor just like what you peeps said. My sister in law had a motorcycle accident last sunday, but gladly she is now recovering. Pero the fact that yung gastos, yung pag aalala, yung hirap nya at ng pamilya heck it's not worth it. Sure you can save gas but on what cause, kung may disiplina lang karamihan ng drivers satin ang saya sana mag motor.

  9. Halos lahat ng nadidisgrasya sa motor ay either lasing or di marunong mag defensive driving. most of all it all depends on the motorist around you. tututok ka ba sa tricicle or jeep sa kalye, hihinto ka ba pag may tatawid sa pedestrian lane, oover take ka ba sa kanan ng truck, will you stop on orange light or try to beat it. It all depends on the motorist. A car is good if you need space and have the money to spare, a motorcycle is good if you have little money to spare its gas consumption is cheaper than commuting. just ride safe.

  19. Marami kasing mga variables bakit mas matipid ang isang riders compare to others, first is the rider itself like his/her body weight, suit (helmet,jacket etc) ,second the motorcycle condition (like engine, tires pressure and the type of tyre their use). And of course the way they ride (like proper use of gearing, their posture while riding) and have extensive knowledge on the road condition on which they will run. That is my own opinion and my personal knowledge sa isyung ito.

    2. Senior citizen na ako, I really prefer motorcycle in city driving, mabilis, matipid, as long as I can ride the motorcycle, I will, no matter what age I am. For me convenience is the shortest time I am on the road.

  22. buti na lng honda beat FI ang nabili ko talagang matipid sya sa gas kahit hindi sya kabilisan sawa na kasi ako sa yamaha mio ko halimaw sa gas di ko rin magamit ang tulin nya kasi traffic lagi ayun benta ng mura

    ReplyDelete
  23. Buti naman naglabas na yamaha ng matipid sa gas. Napabili ako honda kasi nuung araw pa buhay pa tatay,pag gusto mo matipid matiba, get Honda. Pag mabilis pero gastos sa gas pero matibay din, yamaha. Beat Fi pala gamit ko tipid nga sa gas, scooter natatalo pa yung ibang manual like kymco,etc
    Saka ang ingat ingat ko mag drive lagi lang ako 50 kph minsan less pa but may times need to overtake to be safer, Di ako singit singit saka tingin muna ako sa lahat ng directions. Oo may loko lokong drivers ke 4 wheeler or 2 wheeler. layuan mo sila mapapansin mo yun sa daan. get away from them

  24. gusto nyo fuel economy? eh bat di nyo supportahan yung Hydrogen Generator para sa sasakyan? tubig lang fuel mo tatakbo na sasakyan mo. search nyo sa youtube, marami na nakapatunay kahit ako na pupwede sa makina ang hydrogen, kinokontra lang ng DOST dahil alam nila walang tax ang tubig at malulugi malalaking oil companies.
