Simple answer, new Shell Fuel is a joke, for some reason 1st tank made a huge difference to my mileage but maybe I got a week of good running out of it that week. Since then I have had the same mileage as I used to get on the original formula  :(

maybe they did put some extra go stuff in to get everyone hooked and now its too expencive to keep it in there so its just the old stuff again?

It was car and always will be crap..


The new Fuel was a Placebo per se..

The only reason the economicality improved was because the mindset of the users was subconsciously changed..

I will be 100 dollars that if every other merry petrolstation got a cheap peice of vynl and rop and printed new economicality formula and strapped it

around their advertising totem poles.. i reckon they fuel economicality would improve..

it wouldnt improve for me.. because i wouldnt be affected cos im such a cynic..

On Fair Go tonight they tested the new Shell against Mobil. AA monitored the test installing an empty tank in the car each time and putting in 12L of gas. Drove them over the same course until empty. Mobil did 174.3K and Shell did 181K They worked out that if you travel 14000k per year you would save $70.

anyways, in small print in the advertisment for the jettas in that global economy drive thingy...

anyways, small print said that the content in the NZ fuel differs to the product they used...
