Proton is touting the fuel efficiency of its cars with the 1-Tank Adventure, a competition to see how far owners can travel in a single tank. The national carmaker is holding five regional rounds from July 17 to August 1 in the East Coast, Central, Northern and Southern regions as well as East Malaysia. The winners in each round will take part in the final round stretching from Kulai to Penang, on August 4 and 5.
The company also promises an adventure along the way with the exploration of cultures, food and historic views, together with celebrities and media participants. Winners will be able to take home prizes worth more than RM100,000. Cars eligible for participation are the Saga 1.3 CVT built from September 2016 onwards, the Iriz 1.3 CVT from September 2014 onwards and the Persona 1.6 CVT from August 2016 onwards.

Is this for real? Proton = fuel efficient? Myth? Ertiga yes..
P1 more efficient than P2. So why not?
Tt prize money RM100K.me upgrade to Boyue^^
Must winrar 1st. Needs plenty of discipline to maintain most efficient drive when doing fuel challenge.
ha ha ha ha. What fake news. Proton engines are known to drink petrol like crazy. Ask any Preve owners.
And what is worse, as it gets older, it drinks 2X more than when it was brand new.
Proton owners No 1 complain is that their cars are gas guzzlers
I’m a Exora CFE owner for 6 years and I can vouch that you must be lying based on my own experience. Nowhere does it drinks 2X more petrol than when its brand new, and neither does anyone from my EOCM fellow members have shared what you said. It drinks like a 1.8L, I give that, but it powers the car like a 2.0L, so that’s a trade-off most CFE users willing to accept.
Jepunis cars – if older – fuel guzzler
P1 – if older – FC lower
Because u believe in 10 years back Proton model and never heard any recent news
This is as real as the Boyue car command u said a few days ago. Remember?
Geely SUV is not even developed by Proton . ITS a RE BADGE. can not make it a statement that Proton is efficient. if proton has the brain to develop their own EEV platform and engines then salute.
Did you just walked out from a cave or something? Keep up with the times, brother.
Seriously? Is this guy for real?! P1’s reputation for high FC is the myth. In contrast, P2’s fuel saving is the real myth, I have to refuel my Myvi 4 times per month compared to my other car (an Exora) that only needed 3 times refuel per month. And the Exora has a bigger engine with turbo!
does your myvi clock similar mileage monthly with your exora ? you must think we are idiots to believe your claim that exora is more fuel efficient that myvi. the exora is 500 kg heavier.
Final round from JB to Penang?
Good luck any Sabahan driving their roads.
Have to plan the journey carefully. These challenges usually timed their travel during least cars on road and passing thru bottleneck areas b4 or after peak periods.
Alter the program in the ECU… confirm will work
Iriz 1.6 cvt cannot ?
The Iriz 1.3L Manual is the better option if going for FC challenge.
I hope those who participated in the contest practice the SAME driving style. It will be a win win for all as safe driving also mean safe fuels.
if ertiga slot in, sure it can achieve the longest journey.. hihi.
Hypermiling constents is in no way to prove a car’s efficiency. Normal drivers don’t drive like a hypermiler.
They should allow some press convoy with other manufacturer’s cars. Say, put a Myvy 1.3 in the Iriz 1.3 and Saga category and see how they fair.
If John says proton cars are more fuel efficient than Perodua’s then that should not be a problem.
Normally automaker organised FC challenge is by using their own vehicles lar. Like VolvoTrucks Fuel Watch challenge and Scanias Driver Competition uses their own brand trucks. So whats the problem? Later P2 cannot achieve better mileage, then jepunis fanbois will jump and shout P1 sabo the competitor car or paid the media. So how?
Nice. Proton should do this as an annual event. Participants should also have a complete service record at Proton (to reward loyal customers). Those selected should get a free pre event service check and maintenance.
Wish Proton also provide additional categories by year of manufacture ie 1-3 years, 4-5 years and older than 5 years.
Gud comment and idea. But instead of year of make, they shud segregate into engine sizes, and tebo/non-tebo category.
Off air conditioner…!!
Sad, my Iriz 1.6 MT cannot enter….
inspira cannot ah? haha
Why my Saga BLM 2006 cannot enter? I can clock it > 15km/L
