Mrs. Pissawan Achanapornkul, Country Chairperson of The Shell Company of Thailand said “A survey conducted among drivers in Thailand, showed that the majority of Thais are aware that fuel is necessary in daily lives and agreed that being fuel efficient is a major way to save money and that they are willing to change their driving behaviours to save fuel.

As for Shell, the company will launch Shell FuelSave Gasohol 95, Shell FuelSave Gasohol 91 and Shell FuelSave Diesel B5, which is the first and only fuel economy formula in Thailand. Shell FuelSave Gasohol 95, Shell FuelSave Gasohol 91 and Shell FuelSave Diesel B5 have passed test procedures by independent testing institutes.

The tests were conducted with vehicles from major global brands and manufacturers , achieving real savings up to 1 Litre per tank” based on a minimum tank size and fill up of 50 Litres for gasoline and 72 Litres for diesel. Comparison is made between the previous Shell formula and the new instantaneous fuel economy formula “Shell FuelSave”.
