If you’ve ever had your Hyundai Getz serviced at any authorized Hyundai dealer of Hyundai Asia Resources Inc., you may have received in your mail a few days later a brochure titled ‘After Sales Service Customer Satisfaction Survey.’

It is vitally important you fill up this survey. It’s your best chance to get Hyundai Asia Resources Inc (HARI) to listen to you, because Lord knows if you try to email them, they don’t get back to you. :p

It’s been 20 days since I sent an email to HARI (at their cpc@hyundai-asia.com email, the one posted here) asking about e10 gasoline compatibility with the 2006 Hyundai Getz. I tried calling and no one returned my call. I don’t want to appear fussy or self-righteous, but how many people do you suppose send feedback to Hyundai? My guess is not much.

Use the ‘After Sales Service Customer Satisfaction Survey’ to communicate with HARI. Hopefully, they read it. Meanwhile, I heart my Hyundai Getz, and I heart Hyundai Global City, because these guys always listen to me (or at least pretend to).

My Hyundai Getz, Gina, and I drove by Wheels Inc along E. Rodriguez yesterday and we saw the new Hyundai i10. Methinks Gina felt a pang of jealousy; I had to reassure her that she was my car, and always will be (at least until the bank payments are through, haha).

Have you seen the Hyundai i10? It’s quite a piece of work. Wonder if the airbags’ll be standard. I doubt it.

My Hyundai Getz Gina noticed gas prices went down two days ago. 93+ octane gasoline is now retailing for PHP57.07 at our neighborhood Petron. Rush, Hyundai Getz owners, rush, before they jack it up again! That’s PHP3 lower than the peak of PHP60.04 about a month ago, methinks.

(Had dinner with someone who works in one of the Big 3 companies. Rumor has it, this person says, na bababa pa ng PHP1 yan next week. Waw. Praise God, ano?)

Update (Aug 25): Did you see your gas stations? Gas prices are down another PHP1.00! Go get yourselves filled up while the prices are good!

In response to the emails and online posts I’ve been receiving about the compatibility of our Hyundai Getzes with e10 fuel, I finally decided to write an email to Hyundai Asia Resource Inc. (HARI) asking for a final statement on whether or not we can use e10 gasoline with our Hyundai Getz. I finally blasted it off today. Once I receive a response, please expect me to post it here.

Update 1: I decided to call Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. the morning of August 13, 2008. I dialed their number, 830-0011, and got to speak to a gentleman named Jeff. He tried to refer me to a lady named Jenna, who was unfortunately in a meeting. I left my name and number for them to call me back. They didn’t. Will try again tomorrow.

Update 2 (Aug 16): It has been a week since my email. No response from HARI yet.

For all those Philippine Hyundai Getz owners orphaned by the sudden disappearance of the Getz Club on Hyundai International’s forums, NormanBonz refers us to Hyundai Auto Club Philippines. Tadah! New place to hang out and ask questions! Register and tell ‘em Ganns sent ya.
