Mahindra Logan Drivathon takes Ahmedabad by storm
The cars were flagged off by Mr. Kapil Mathur, Additional Director, Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) from Amirag Farms, SG Road, Ahmedabad. The event format saw existing customers drive their cars on a pre-determined route. The basis of this exercise was to ascertain the best fuel consumption figures. Winners were adjudged on the basis of the best mileage figures attained during this drive. The route for the Logan Drivathon was about 61 Km with regular traffic conditions and took about one hour to cover. The Drivathon passed through the Mehsana Highway before culminating at Shankuj Water Park. All drivers were given a route map for navigation and all vehicles had to compulsorily fill up their tanks to the maximum before they were flagged-off. Fuel was filled in the presence of neutral marshals to prevent any misreporting of mileage figures. Mahindra Renault officials present on the occasion included Mr. Sunil Lohani - Zonal Head, Gujarat and Rajasthan. All participants were treated to breakfast, tea and cookies. There was also a fun and entertainment programme organized after the mileage rally, followed by lunch and a prize distribution ceremony which saw prizes being given out to high mileage winning cars. The event was a fun-filled one with lots of fun and games, including a tattoo area for kids.
