I admit to being a fan of the little Suzuki Burgman Street. As my personal errand scoot, it has saved me thousands of pesos in fuel expenses compared to using my car. Even frequent, wide-open-throttle runs haven’t deterred it from consistently churning out fuel efficiencies of anywhere from 45-50km/L.

But the recent Burgman Street Econo Run held in Cebu and Davao has just revealed exactly how thrifty it can get at the fuel pump. With a total of 93 riders on the Burgman Street Standard and the bigger-tired EX variant, the results were nothing short of impressive.

To measure the fuel efficiency, participants’ fuel tanks were topped up at the starting-point gas station, sealed, and then refilled at the end point. The volume of liters replenished was computed against the trip odometer reading. Participants with a lower odometer reading than in Suzuki’s simulation run were disqualified.

The Cebu leg began at Suzuki AS Fortuna in Mandaue City and ended in San Remigio, northern Cebu—a good mix of hills, twisties, and urban traffic. These are the results:

• Burgman Street Standard
  • Dario Villacorta Jr. –  80.34km/L
  • Resty Florence – 79.49km/L
  • Jimmy Villaver – 73.23km/L

• Burgman Street EX
  • Jivy Casona – 84.4km/L
  • Junejeet Aguanta – 76.47km/L
  • Brian Villacampo – 75.63km/L

• Influencers
  • Boy Perstaym – 84.4km/L
  • Miss PINAYpay – 78.69km/L
  • InangMoto – 72.09km/L
  • MC Kwyn – 69.06km/L

The Davao leg began at Shell Bago Gallera in Davao City and ended at Magnaga Waters Beach Resort in Davao de Oro. Participants achieved an average of 68km/L for the Burgman Street Standard, and 69km/L for the Burgman Street EX. The results are as follows:

• Burgman Street Standard
  • Avel Canono – 93.7km/L
  • Felix Reambonanza Jr. – 82.23km/L
  • Jaffy Quiambao – 82.22km/L
