Put More Miles in your Tank with New Shell Petrol

The Story behind our New Petrol

How it Works with your Engine

As the cost of driving increases, so too does the need to find ways to make your money go further. New Shell Petrol has been tested and specially designed to start working from the very first tank- saving you money. So if you like the idea of putting more miles in your tank, make sure your next fill-up is at Shell.

At Shell we are constantly striving to create the best fuels for our customers. We have invested heavily in leading edge research and developement. We're working hard to give you better fuels which will take you further. We've conducted a range of laboratory tests, which have shown that our Better Mileage formula can help moving parts within your engine run more easily which effectively burns less energy - and a more efficient engine, means improved fuel economy.

Testing something in laboratory conditions is one thing, but we need to be sure that our formulation lives up to the rigorous conditions you face every day on the road. We have proven through extensive car fleet tests, that fuels treated with our Better Mileage formula can deliver enhanced fuel economy when compared to untreated fuels. So we have taken this knowledge to develop our latest generation of fuels which are designed to offer better mileage than previous Shell formulations.

Drawing on our extensive experience in developing fuel, our team carefully assessed all the potential sources of engine inefficiency which could impact on fuel economy. We looked into the heart of the engine and developed a complete petrol formula designed not only to help keep your engine clean but also to reduce friction, improving
combustion and the overall efficiency of the engine.

Our testing is carried out at Shell's ISO 9001 quality accredited laboratories in the UK and Germany to procedures which are openly published (Society of Automobile Engineers USA). This test has been rigorously audited by leading independent body British Standards Institute.

For our fleet tests, we took a wide range of popular cars and selected pairs of the same model, one running on untreated fuel, the other using Better Mileage formula. From the city to the open road, we tested these cars simultaneously for 10,000 miles, monitoring them continuously. At the end of the tests we were able to see that the fleet which experienced greater fuel economy was that using our Better Mileage formula.
