i always use shell
for new formula nothing difference

 

[bibendum]

Too bad for us in Sabah.. NO V-POWER

 

[safri]

same here but lets give Shell some respect la...

I tried both the new SHELL and PETRONAS Primax 3 and found that Shell appeared to be "smoother"! Less 'engine roar' at low speed ie "stop & go traffic"

How much per liter ?

Is it new formula for Vpower? or regular?

 

[Jerman]

Regular at RM 1.92 per litre

 

[chewkies]

How's the mileage like???

 

[Jerman]

chewkies,
Mine is E 39 520i 2.2L, getting about 9km per litre. No different between new Shell or Petronas. Driving style and route same!
Others?

 

[dwj]

heard the new formula will save ur petrol..is that true?

 

[ALBundy]

Yup, in their so called publicity test, an Audi Golf 1.6 FSi only needed 24 gas top ups to travel more than 2X,XXX kms!!! And the car is stock standard!

If Shell and Primax both give around similar mileage, I will support SHELL!!

gents... actually the new Shell Super with Fuel Economy formula uses their new Synthetic Viscous Friction Improver (SVFI). Basically, how it works is that the new additive is not combustible during power stroke, and therefore acts as an agent to smoother the movement of your piston. As you already know, engine oil lubricates the piston and the engine block, not the combustion chamber. So, SVFI is suppose to help drivers to achieve better mileage by this mechanism.


John and Helen Taylor, the couple who used a stock Volkswagen Golf 1.6 FSi travelled across 25 countries (28000 kilometers approximately) using only 1303 litres of Shell Super OR 24 full tanks. average fuel consumption was 22.2 km/litre.
Along with them during this world record attempt, were officers from Guinness Book World Of Record to witness the whole event.

So, folks, yes, with 1 fill up, you may not notice the difference, but you should get better mileage from 2nd fill-ups onwards.


ANyhow, all of these depends very much on your driving style...
if u happen to have a very heavy right foot, the new Shell Super with Fuel Economy Formula will not help.

Cheers bros!

 

[chewkies]

thanks mafia...better understanding now...

like tat will try on next few fills




any more good feedback on the siham oil ?

 

[aramis]

One thing to take note is you got to wait for all the existing stock in the petrol kiosks to finish before the new product comes in. I would suggest to wait for a few days before starting filling your car with the new Shell petrol.

i agree, i have been using shell for 2 years and always monitor my mileage. will be able to know for sure if the new formula provide any additional miles. currently running on a tank full to almost empty takes me about 560-600KM (mix of long distance n city driving) so with this new formula, i expect it will bring me more than 600

 

[wmr]

I might give it a try but I found the Primax 3 more "powderful" and economical!

 

[leakwoon]

more than 600?

walao ler

if can more than 500 also i also laugh

due to recent agressive drive style

onli touch 400++ nie
