ASIAN AUTO AmBank – Fuel Efficiency Awards 2011 Winners List

Pic 1

I attended this dinner just a night before my Honda Insight media trip, and it was timely indeed since both correlates fuel efficiency and cost savings.

Naturally after 2 events similarly themed events, I’m somewhat better educated when it comes to fuel savings. Driving habits aside, the make of the vehicle/engine does play a role.
I’m personally excited about hybrids now, thanks to Honda for the insightful trip but no fret if hybrids are not your thing, here’s a list of four-wheels that are kind to your wallet, the environment & stylish to boot!  XD

Kudos to our own Malaysian brand, Perodua. The Myvi has got to be our Malaysian all-time favourite car!

    ooo… Altis is very fuel efficient. I can’t believe Saga manual is that fuel efficient =_=”

      Saga should be fuel efficient right? Since its manual and the cc is not high.

    Why swift is not in the list? Ok lets change to GOLF GTI

    err..not in the list also..hahah

    1. rebeccasaw 8 Feb 2012 Reply

      You like Golf GTI? Well, technically it’s the engine that makes the difference right? So volks wins so many awards – diff models but using the same engine?
      I wonder…

      1. Akulah Pak Lan 8 Feb 2012

        13km/L +- not that good compared to others. Its depend also on your driving style. The tune setting will change according to your driving style. Thats bad for me because i always press hard on the gas…

      2. rebeccasaw 9 Feb 2012

        Press harder! VVrrroooooooooommmmm! HAhaha!

      3. Akulah Pak Lan 8 Feb 2012

        Golf gti use diff eng i guess. Plus the tuning is different. Just image the price is more than RM200k…even more expensive than civic type R.

      4. rebeccasaw 9 Feb 2012

        Yea, Golf aint cheap but it’s a good car. No complains so far from the people I know who are actual owners

      1. Akulah Pak Lan 8 Feb 2012

        Ops sorry. Standard for swift is 6.7L/100km
