The third annual EcoRun took place from May 6-8 in British Columbia, allowing 18 members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) to test drive as many fuel-efficient vehicles and assess their performance in real-world conditions.
The AJAC EcoRun is intended to showcase the latest advances in fuel efficiency and reduced emissions being offered to consumers, as well as demonstrating ways Canadians can reduce their vehicle fuel costs by modifying their driving habits.
Each vehicle participating in EcoRun was fitted with a special monitoring device which recorded fuel consumption, as well as the driving techniques of the driver. The results will be posted on the AJAC website at www.ajac.ca.
