For millions of Filipinos, driving isn’t just a routine—it’s a daily journey. Whether you’re navigating city traffic, traveling cross-country, or driving for a living, smarter driving habits make all the difference in performance, cost-efficiency, and peace of mind.
We asked seasoned Filipino drivers to share real-world tips on how they stay road-ready, safe, and efficient—and how Caltex with Techron fuels play a key role in their journey.
1. Keep Your Engine Clean and Running Longer
The heart of smarter driving starts with a clean, efficient engine. Dirt and deposits inside your engine can reduce fuel efficiency and increase wear and tear—making routine maintenance more expensive in the long run.
Gerard Christopher Agustin, a frequent driver and office worker, swears by Caltex with Techron for helping maintain his vehicle’s performance.
“The greatest contribution of Caltex to our car is its quality performance. The fuel helps keep our engine clean and reduces emissions, which makes car maintenance more convenient.”
Techron’s active cleaning agents help prevent harmful deposits from building up, keeping your engine in peak condition for smoother, more fuel-efficient drives.
2. Plan Your Stops—And Fuel Up Without the Stress
Running low on gas can turn any drive into a nerve-wracking experience, especially when you’re unfamiliar with the area. That’s why smart drivers plan their stops around trusted fuel stations.
Reno Estomata Lemetares Jr., a tourist driver from Panglao, Bohol, relies on the convenience of Caltex’s nationwide network:
“Diri sa Panglao, daghan gyud kag makita nga Caltex stations… Makatabang gyud ni nako nga dili ko maguol kung mahutdan ko’g gasolina.”
(“Here in Panglao, you’ll see a lot of Caltex stations… It really helps me not worry about running out of fuel.”)
With hundreds of Caltex stations across the Philippines, you’re never too far from a reliable refuel—perfect for long trips or everyday commutes.
3. Stretch Every Drop: Fuel Efficiency Matters
Fuel costs add up fast, especially for drivers who spend hours on the road. That’s why using fuel that helps maximize every liter can go a long way.
Jemrick Asuhan, another tourist driver, trusts Caltex to help him go farther on every tank:
“Walay kabalaka kung hapit na ka maubusan… naa’y Caltex nga duol.”
(“You don’t need to worry if you’re running low—there’s always a Caltex nearby.”)
With Techron’s ability to enhance fuel economy and engine performance, drivers can save more and worry less—even on long hauls.
4. Make Every Pit Stop Count
A smart pit stop isn’t just for your vehicle—it’s also for you. Whether it’s for a quick meal, a breather between bookings, or routine maintenance, a well-equipped stop makes a big difference.
VinoKwim Oliveros Laylay, a Grab Food driver, values how Caltex stations go beyond just fuel:
“Caltex helps me not just with fuel, but by providing a place to relax between deliveries. The staff are always accommodating, too.”
Many Caltex stations now offer more than just gas. You’ll find 7-Eleven, Jollibee, PICKUP COFFEE, and Havoline autoPro workshops at select locations—where you can grab a snack or get professional car care like oil changes, battery replacements, and brake inspections, all in one stop.
Smarter Driving Starts at the Pump
Whether you’re a daily commuter, a long-haul driver, or someone who simply enjoys the open road, making smarter choices—like using Caltex fuels with Techron—can improve your vehicle’s performance, extend its life, and help you drive with confidence.
From fuel quality to customer service, Caltex remains committed to keeping drivers across the Philippines moving—efficiently, confidently, and stress-free.
