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)

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.”
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.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention fixed rate parking haha.
DeleteKung wala lang masyadong g*gong nagnanakaw ng motor.
better fuel mileage, cheaper and easier parking, no coding, (technically illegal, and difficult) lanesplitting...
Deletedownside, 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……
pagusto da girl
DeleteYung natipid mo sa gasolina, gagamitin mo namang pambayad sa ospital.
ReplyDeleteWala 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.
Deletetruth 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.
ReplyDeleteeh di wag kayo magmotor ganun ka simple. buti naman kayo may pambili ng kotse. pano naman yung mahihirap nating kababayan? puro kayo dada. alis kayo sa page nato.
ReplyDeleteTama.. Hindi kasalanan ng motor yung disgrasya kaninuman.. Nasa rider pa rin diskarte at pangangalaga sa motorcycle
Deletewhat kind of gasoline did the scooters use? unleaded?
ReplyDeleteLahat naman po unleaded na since late 90's.. Baka ibig nyong sabihin anung octane rating kinarga ng petron sa event na ito..
DeleteSir, tanong po sana ako kung anong exact KM/liter ng Mio soul i 125s?
ReplyDelete40km/liter lang sa mio soul i125s,
DeleteWhats the average speed?
ReplyDeletegaling nung driver ng cbr 150r napaabot nya ng 100+kpl
ReplyDeleteano kayang year model unh cbr nya
Totoo kaya na pwde umabot sa 100km/L yunG CBR 150r..?
Deletemag bike nalang kaya tau.. 100 percent safe and efficient :)
ReplyDeletee nga ikaw nga mag bike
Deleteng 600 kilometers.tignan ko lng
Bka pa baba yun rolling cia kaya ganun hahaha
DeleteHalos 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.
ReplyDeleteMas matipid talaga ang motor. Sa issue ng accident.... pag oras mo na ay talagang oras mo na kahit pa ba SUV na kotse gamit mo.Marami na rin ang na-ospital at namatay kahit kotse ang gamit.
ReplyDeleteTama Naman Kung nagmomotor ka kailangan doble ingat talaga at tamang speed lang, , nakikita nyo Naman Ang mga na aksidente na naka motor,,, mabibilis, sisingit kahit alanganin,, nghahabol SA stop lights,,, deciplina lang Sana para Hindi na makadamay NG iba
ReplyDeletegrabe nmn ung mga consumption, sobrang tipid nmn? samantalang ung bagong honda click 125i/150i 2018 eh sobrang proud na for only 52km/L ??? totoo ba yan
ReplyDeletemay binago kasi sa mga features boss at saka nag upgrade. yung nakita mong mileage sa taas talagang tinipid ng mabuti yan. common sense nalang hehehe
DeletePalit cvt lng titipid tlga scooter 😂
Deletewhen i bought my honda dream noong 2000, ang sabi sa flyers nila 68km/l in cebu rush hour driving, ang tanong ko lang mga ka-riders e ilan na lang kaya per liter takbo nya now...im still using it from binan to makati for 2 months now? sorry friends sira na kasi yung kilometer reader e...pls reply mga friends
ReplyDeleteaccidents are unpredictable, whatever vehicle you are using.
ReplyDeletePag accident kasi pag naaksidente ka sa motor malaki damage sayo maghihiwalay mga parts mo whereas pag nasa car malaki survival rate mo, may air bag pa at seatbelt.
ReplyDeleteWala kaming pambili ng kotse kasi motor lang kaya namin, marami kayong sinasabi kasi may pambili kayo ng kotse daming tao na di nya maintindihan ung katayoan ng iba kaya madali lng mag salita ng patapos.
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeletemga sir mam off topic na. mga matipid sa gas na motorsiklo po ang topic hindi kotse or aksidnte
ReplyDeleteI like sight. balak ko siya ipagpalit sa sym magic. pero iniisip ko pang maiiigi. para kasing feeling ko pagbranded bike mo parang walang peace of mind na feeling mo nanakawin
mga ugok ang topic kung ano ang matipid sa gas na motorsiklo!!! mga moron!!! hindi ba kayo makaintindi? bumalik kayo sa nursery! daig pa kayo ng mga bata bwiseet! bumili kayo ng electric bike di nyo na ksilangan ng gaaas! bwiset!
ReplyDeleteMarami 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.
ReplyDeleteMay motor ako dati raider 150 12yrs kmi nagsamang dalawa. Nang nakakuha ako ng wigo 2018 naibinta ko ang motor ko ngaun 2019 sabi ko Kay misis mag aral ka magdrive sayo natong cotse mas gusto ko pala ang motor.. iba ang satisfaction SA pagmomotor mas masarap pakiramdam
ReplyDeletehaha nice one. kahit anong liit ng kotse, nababara pa rin sa trapik. iba talaga ginhawa ng motor sa rush hour.:)
DeleteSenior 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.

ReplyDeletebuti 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
ReplyDeleteButi 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
ReplyDeleteSaka 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
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.
ReplyDeleteSo true kapatid
