With Shell FuelSave, a more efficient engine means a more economical drive.
New Shell FuelSave Unleaded is not only designed to help keep critical engine and fuel system components clean and working at their best, but also contains, for the first time, a unique efficiency improver, developed to reduce energy losses in the engine, thereby delivering better fuel economy, to help today's driver get the most out of every drop.
Designed to reduce energy losses in the engine
Shell FuelSave is designed to work by reducing energy losses in the engine by lubricating where your normal engine oils can't easily reach. Enabling the engine to turn more freely results in more of your fuel's energy being available to drive the wheels, improving the efficiency of your engine and thereby providing you with improved fuel economy.
Formulated to help keep your engine clean
Combustion is most efficient when precise amounts of air and fuel are mixed together at the right time. With some conventional fuels, deposits may form over time on the back of the inlet valves. This can lead to delays in the required fuel charge entering the engine and a poor mix of fuel and air. All of which leads to a reduction in your engine’s efficiency – and a less economical ride. Shell FuelSave is designed to prevent the build-up of these deposits, helping to keep your engine cleaner and your fuel consumption lower.
