Wow. This article has certainly drawn a lot of criticism, some of which are very understandable. Yes, the title was misleading and for that I apologize. The words "Some of the" should have been added at the beginning. As much as we would like to test ALL of the cars available in the Philippines for the article, that's close to impossible since there are a limited number of test units to accommodate all the media personnel who are test driving it, not to mention the marketing activities the manufacturers and distributors use the test units for. To borrow a test unit, you sometimes have to give notice weeks, or even months, in advance so if we tried to borrow and test all of the cars available in the country, it would probably take a year to find out their real-world mileage, and during that time a handful of new models might debut resulting in an unending number of test drives. That's why I asked the help of your fellow TGP staffers. Unfortunately, we don't always get to note the fuel mileage of the test cars we've driven and that's because either the cars have no fuel mileage meter or it's going to be pretty expensive to top one up, run it until its near empty and then top it up again to compute based on the odometer and the fuel pump reading just how much mileage you got. Enter the DOE eco runs which were the closest thing to real-world test drives as you can get. As noted, some of the currently available models weren't included in the two eco runs and if they were, they weren't that fuel efficient after all. Let's face it, a 1.3-liter car that's pulling a heavier body will always suffer in comparison to a 1.3-liter car that's pulling a lighter body. In a perfect world, the DOE would've compelled all the manufacturers and distributors to submit their cars to the eco runs but that might never happen. The last thing we'd rely on for the article are the manufacturers' fuel mileage claims because: one, we don't know the conditions their test units were run in; and two, we can't always expect them to be truthful about the figures. Based on my personal experience, I've test driven a car where the manufacturer claimed it was good for at least 7 kilometers per liter in city driving but the highest I could ever get out of it was 5 kilometers per liter, hence the apprehension to use the manufacturer's claimed figures. Again, my apologies for the confusion.
