Shell FuelSave improves fuel economy in cross city jaunt
Shell South Africa launched their new FuelSave fuel economy formula, available in the lower octane and 50ppm diesel fuels on offer through all Shell filling stations, to a selection of guests at the Shell Ultra City in Midrand.
The Shell FuelSave formula is designed to help reduce fuel consumption and help motorists save money at the pump. “In South Africa, as well as in countries of vast expanse elsewhere in the world, owning and driving a vehicle is all but essential – but the cost of fuel can add up quickly. So Shell set itself the task of developing a solution to help the average cost-conscious consumer save both money and fuel,” explained Hloniphizwe Mtolo, GM Mobility and Country Chairman, Shell South Africa.
Performance- robbing deposits can severely impact engine efficiency and fuel economy, with this in mind Shell has spent over five years, with the aid of more than 150 dedicated scientists, in laboratory, bench engine and road testing at its specialized research and development facilities around the world, to produce its next generation deposit targeting technology.
With tregular use of Shell’s FuelSave, a vehicle’s fuel economy can be improved by up to 2% by helping clean and protect key fuel system components such as intake valves and fuel injectors from performance limiting deposits.
With the assistance of Nissan SA who supplied 2 petrol and 2 diesel model Navara’s as well as 4 Qasqai’s (2 petrol and 2 diesel), Shell invited a random selection of drivers and guests to drive these vehicles on a selected route from the Ultra City in Midrand across the city to the Ultra City on the M2 where drivers changed vehicles and drove back to the Ultra City Midrand. The driver briefing contained no specific fuel saving driver instructions apart from the mandatory wearing of seat belts for all occupants at all times as well as the instruction to drive safely.
The fuel consumption figures were taken and the results revealed to the guests.
