New study reveals Filipino motorists feel anxious about missing out in life
Shell FuelSave encourages drivers to be fuel savvy with its Do More campaign
We joined last week event launched of the study of Shell on the things Filipino motorists feel anxious about what they miss. Here are some to the photos during the event
If there is something that we can all agree on, it is that Filipinos are becoming more and more empowered with their decisions. Whether it be choosing the right brand or spending time with the right bunch, we are always looking for ways to make the most of our choices.
However, reaching that right choice is not always easy. Oftentimes, we end up making uninformed decisions that send us two steps back. Leading petroleum company Shell takes the guesswork out of fuel efficiency concerns with its new Shell Do More campaign.
They recently polled 1,000 Filipino drivers on the emotional impact of their busy lives and the importance of fuel efficiency to help them do more of the things they enjoy.
“Many Filipinos feel that they have less time to do the things they enjoy, which causes them to end up missing out on a lot of important life moments such as spending time with their families, having dinner with friends, or even watching their favorite television shows,” said Pilipinas Shell vice president for retail Anthony Lawrence Yam.
In the same way, Filipino motorists also feel anxious about saving fuel. In fact, they place seeing the red light on their fuel gauge higher than going for a job interview and making a speech in public higher in the anxiety scale.
That being said, nearly two-thirds of Filipinos surveyed agree that changing the way they drive could give them more time to do enjoyable things in life and almost all say that their lives would be positively impacted if they could make their fuel last longer with the right fuel saving habits and had to fill up less.
Half would even take a long road trip or holiday if they could drive further on the same amount of fuel. Shell FuelSave is designed to last longer than our standard gasoline and diesel of the same bio-content and can help motorists to do more and enjoy life’s most important events.
“We, at Shell, want to educate drivers on how they can make their fuel last longer,” said Yam. “We’ve shared countless tips on how to be more fuel efficient, but Filipinos always think of ingenious ways on their own.”
Most notably, 98 percent of the respondents believe that engineering and science students play an important role in helping save fuel and finding solutions to the world’s energy problems. This is why Shell conducts the yearly Shell Eco-marathon, one of the world’s most innovative and challenging student engineering competitions, that aims to bring together the scientific and engineering leaders of tomorrow from all over the world, along with people who are passionate about the energy challenge, and asks them to design build and drive the most energy efficient cars.
