Petron EnerTripid promotes fuel savings and road safety

Petron Corporation is coming out with a series of quick and catchy reminders for the motoring public as part of its Petron EnerTripid campaign, a public information advocacy for fuel efficient driving and road safety. These fuel conservation tips have become more relevant in the light of high oil prices.

Petron EnerTripid educates motorists on how to optimize their resources and get the most value from their fuel expenses. Some Petron EnerTripid tips that can help us save on fuel consumption are:

1. Beating the red light consumes more gas. We tend to accelerate as we approach an intersection, particularly when trying to avoid getting caught at a stop light. More often than not, this effort is futile and just wastes gas.

2. Don’t go heavy on the pedal. To save gas, step lightly on the pedal. A heavy foot on the accelerator is not only a gas-guzzler, it can also produce an uncomfortable, jerky ride with short bursts of speed and constant braking. Save yourself and your passengers from a high-stress ride, keep your foot light on the pedal.

3. Life is not a race. To save gas, maintain a steady pace. Even race drivers know that a smooth drive is also a fast drive. Maintaining a constant speed at the recommended speed limit is often the quickest way to get to your destination. Enjoy the drive.

4. The longer you stay in low gear, the more gas you spend. Shift up to save gas. Be a mindful driver and take note of your engine rpm. Shift up at the earliest possible time, not only to save gas but also to keep your engine running at the most efficient gear.

5. Maintain the recommended tire pressure. Studies have shown that under-inflated tires result in higher gas consumption. Make sure to have your tire pressure checked each time you gas up.

6. Plan ahead and combine several trips into one. Each time you start your car from a cold start consumes more fuel. Instead of running several short trips, try to schedule all your errands into one longer trip to save gas.

7. Giving your car a regular tune-up saves gas. Follow your vehicle’s recommended service maintenance schedule to keep it in tip-top shape. A well-tuned vehicle is more fuel-efficient than a run-down one.

The Petron EnerTripid campaign is a fuel conservation advocacy in cooperation with the Department of Energy, and consists of a series of radio plugs and newspaper ads containing different energy saving tips.

Flying in from Germany to share his expertise is Steffen Niemietz, a technical application engineer from Liqui Moly’s R&D. Niemietz, was part of the development team of the Mercedes Benz “Smart” car, and was intimately involved from the prototype phase to road-testing. He was a member of the “Smart” task force deployed worldwide to address problems on-site. Starting out as a master craftsman, Niemietz also has extensive experience in all aspects of service workshop operations. He is currently one of nine full-time trainers with Liqui Moly’s Technical R&D department.

ArtPetron, the national student art competition of oil industry leader Petron Corporation was recognized in the 46th Anvil Awards held last 18 February 2011 at the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel.

ArtPetron 10, with the theme Alay sa Natatanging Pamayanan, received Excellence Awards in the Special Publications and External Publications categories, recognizing the ArtPetron 10 collaterals as well as the ArtPetron Folio 2010 Celebration Issue, respectively.

ArtPetron seeks to promote Philippine art, culture, tradition and values among the youth, through an annual painting and photography contest open to students enrolled in regular college or university programs, or in a museum-based or private tutorial art or photography course.

Over the years, ArtPetron has received numerous Anvil Awards, endorsing the project’s ideals of reaching out and nurturing young Filipino artists.

Cetane boosters optimize performance of Petron Turbo Diesel

Petron, the country’s leading oil company, is making its mark as a fuel innovator with the introduction of specially formulated fuels, such as the new Petron Turbo Diesel.

A high-performance diesel designed to deliver that optimum driving experience, Petron Turbo Diesel contains a technologically-advanced cetane booster, resulting in a cetane number higher than other diesel fuels in the market.

According to Wikipedia, “Cetane number or CN is a measurement of the combustion quality of diesel fuel during compression ignition. It is a significant expression of diesel fuel quality…”

A high cetane number indicates that the diesel fuel has a shorter ignition delay from the start of injection to start of combustion. It causes lower rates of pressure rise and lower peak pressures, thus lessening combustion noise and vibration, and resulting in increased efficiency. The cetane boosters in Petron Turbo Diesel ensure better ignition quality for quicker engine start-up, improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.

Petron Turbo Diesel also contains a robust multifunctional detergent additive that delivers non-stop cleaning action. This keeps the fuel system and the engine clean by preventing residue build-up and removing deposits and contaminants.

A premium organic combustion enhancer that promotes more efficient and complete combustion is part of the special formulation of Petron Turbo Diesel. This unique fuel conditioner crates a catalytic reaction that enables more oxygen to combine with carbon molecules to produce a more complete fuel burn, thus generating more power and faster acceleration.

With its enhanced and advanced additive technology, Petron Turbo Diesel offers motorists a high-performance diesel fuel that delivers the following benefits: Superior acceleration and performance, reduction of engine noise and ignition delay, cleaning of fuel injectors, protection against engine corrosion, improvement of cold start performance, and reduction of exhaust emissions.

Petron Turbo Diesel is the ideal fuel for high-end vehicles with common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engines, as its multi-additive formulation has been customized to deliver extraordinary diesel engine performance and a more enjoyable driving experience. At the same time, older diesel engine types can benefit from its detergent and combustion-enhancing properties, for more optimized performance.

Following its highly-successful launch at a few service stations in mid-2010, Petron Turbo Diesel is now more widely available in select Petron service stations nationwide.

Petron Corporation is the largest oil refining and marketing company in the Philippines. Its oil refinery produces a full range of petroleum products to supply nearly 40% of the country’s total fuel requirements. Through more than 1,500 service stations nationwide -- the largest service station network in the country -- Petron retails gasoline, diesel and kerosene to motorists. Petron will continue to be at the forefront of product innovations aimed at giving the motoring public environment-friendly fuels that provide more value for money.

Petron Gasul

“Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista!”
Petron Gasul guarantees quality and safety


Many of us take our kitchen LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supply for granted; but home safety considerations should make us pay more attention to the quality of our cooking LPG. This is the essence of the new slogan Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista, which highlights the essential safety, quality and authenticity features of the trusted Petron Gasul brand.

Sub-standard or illegally refilled LPG cylinders may be marginally cheaper but sacrifice safety standards, which could lead to accidents and the loss of lives and property. Unscrupulous suppliers may also skimp on the LPG cylinder’s fuel content, loading less than the claimed weight. And, most importantly, there is the issue of LPG quality, which can be detected through the quality of the flame produced.

Petron Gasul cylinders are manufactured to meet stringent safety standards including wall thickness, weld integrity and valve fitting. This ensures that the highly-combustible gas is safely contained in the LPG tank and poses no danger to your family.

LPG is sold by weight, with prices fluctuating on a per kilogram basis depending on world market prices. As ordinary consumers, a reliable brand like Petron Gasul gives us the assurance that we are indeed getting the correct amount of LPG that we pay for.

Poor-quality LPG produces a smoky yellowish flame that coats our pots and pans with black soot. Because of the lower burning temperature of the flame, this means higher consumption of LPG. Petron Gasul produces a clean-burning true-blue flame that is more economical while keeping your kitchen smoke-free and your pots and pans clean.

Protect your home and family. Ensure that the LPG you use in your home is safe, authentic, filled to the correct weight, and produces a true-blue flame. For your peace of mind, choose the laser-sealed Petron Gasul, the reliable partner of millions of Filipino households.
