Awards Spotlight: Asian Auto AmBank – Fuel Efficiency Awards 2011

Our friends at Asian Auto had recently announced the results of the Asian Auto Ambank Fuel Efficiency Awards 2011 with the top three cars in each of 18 categories returning home with a prize.

Chief Editor of Asian Auto, Daniel Fernandez in thanking and welcoming guests, said, “Every legitimate car sold in Malaysia was included in the audit this year. The results from the review were surprising; petrol engines are starting to creep up to hybrid cars in terms of fuel efficiency.”
