New Diesel from Shell
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008Burns better for more miles and it keeps engines cleaner
Leading energy company Shell is known for their racing diesel fuel so they are keen to demonstrate what they have learnt on the tracks to the average motorist and the result is their diesel with economy formula.
Additives an detergents help the fuel to mist better for combustion and keeps the engine cleaner for longer.
According to Shell boss, Datuk Mokhzani Abdul Wahab, the fuel is sold at the same price as the old fuel because the company is able to absorb the extra cost of the new formulation. They don’t want to further burden the people as fuel prices were recently increased.
I think Shell should be commended for their effort but I also would like to see the Government legislating better quality diesel fuels for passenger car - they can let the price of these cleaner diesels float higher than the dirtier commercial vehicle grade diesels. It is time we take advantage of the fuel economy advantages of diesel, especially at a time when conservation of energy is on everyone’s mind.
