Of course I can share no problem :]..

It was held in Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang, quite difficult to find for the first time as I went in from the wrong side -.-, forturnately Honda placed a lot of helpful signboards.

In summary the day went like this, from 10am to 5.40pm.
Registration+Breakfast, theory session, practical session (drove to Putrajaya & back), lunch, practical session again (drove to KLIA & back & challenge for MAXIMUM FUEL EFFICIENCY, champion received a prize), tea break & closing ceremony.

The cars provided were the same as ours, Insight Facelift and 2 City. For the drive to KLIA I achieved an efficiency of 27.3 km/L which I think was quite good, better than my own Insight for now as it's relatively new and not 'run in' yet and still using default mineral engine oil. The champion achieved a WHOPPING 30.5 km/L, they turned the air-con off and really drove like feather.............. Most of the cars almost never even exceeded 70km/hr (speed limit was 80km/hr).

Safety precautions & correct driving attitude were of course emphasized & taught before we started driving...

As a side note I brought my mum there since it was mother's day smile.gif cool2.gif .....!!!!!

Hi, congratulations. Of course, our Hybrid can beat a normal 1.8L in terms of performance and more fuel efficient than a 1.0L (Viva) cool2.gif........!!

The event is strictly for Honda owners & Honda models only, sorry. But of course you could go for your own Eco run yourself any time with the same route to check what fuel efficiency you can get & challenge the Insight Facelift...
A Toyota Hybrid would be very efficient too....

Hi I think you will still get your Eco Score Trophies eventually as long as you drive like a normal driver and not go flatout every single time :]
