The Shell FuelSave Challenge 2012 happened earlier today, where popular radio DJs with one lucky fan each fought with other teams to be the most fuel efficient. After 97 km in a Hyundai Elantra, Team ERA emerged champion with the figure of 19.69 km per litre of Shell FuelSave 95 petrol.
Lucky fan Ahmad Adlyn, who partnered ERA FM DJ Adifashla, walked away with RM5,000 cash. The other DJs were Ean from Hitz FM and Wai Fun from Chinese station MY FM. Each were paired with a fan as they drove along a pre-determined route with two pit stops that had points-paying mini challenges. Shell FuelSave ambassador and popular actor Fahrin Ahmad gave them tips before the flag off.
“Before this, I’ve heard of driving tips that help save fuel while driving and today, I can proudly say that I am a fuel efficient driver having tried it firsthand. This once in a lifetime experience was even more thrilling as I got to team up with my favourite radio DJ Adi,” said Ahmad Adlyn. The runner-up teams took home 100,000 BonusLink points.
The Shell FuelSave Challenge was held in conjunction with Shell’s global online campaign – Target One Million. The campaign aims to educate one million motorists globally to be more fuel efficient via a series of mini games. The next game, Shell FuelSave Bootloader, is scheduled for launch soon. Malaysia is currently number two on the Target One Million global leaderboard.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Not much leverage testing on cars with ultra low resale value
actually u jealous of the car beauty n tech isn’t it?? just admit la u already shame coz using your current car that maybe a dugong,city,camry,altis,accord,civic right2? LOL
Testing fuel consumption has nothing to do with resale value.
You mean u don hv the intellect to see that? Poor Sam.
Tibi woman has no life
Huh?
You point being?
Making stupid points again? No shame ka?
If test car is a popular make with better RV like MyVi or Saga, it makes more sense, as it appeals to the masses.
A Hyundai ? Who is so stupid to make the mistake of buying this rotten cabbage and end up losing 50% of car value in 2 years?
Somemore wanna argue with the same points?
Your points have been shot down 6 days to sunday.
No shame?
Pah, this is a fuel efficiency test to see who can get the best mileage out of a bog-standard car, and you just gotta keep giving your ultra-stupid RV rantings?
Well, guess what, i doubt that Shell will give a shi* to your bigoted reply, as they just pick cars they like, not to your command.
Still don’t get it. Again, on behalf of the sane-minded, reasonable-thinking commentators here, i’m warning you again, you keep up with this rubbish, and we’ll keep smashing your comments up to a real pulp.
And, one thing, consider yourself lucky that you’re typing behind a computer screen, as if i were to see the real you, seriously, i really wanna give you a tight slap in the face for being such an ignorant bastard who has just gotta spoil the mood of us car lovers who has just endured a long day at work and wanna enjoy discussing about cars we love!
Turboman, keep up the good work mate. Good to know that you are still alive and kicking.
what hyundai model will lose 50% in two years time?
All Hyundai/Kia Models will lose more than 50% in 2 years when you trade it it
I would love to see the looks on your face when the used car salesman tells you that your kimchi is worth less than RM20k when you trade it in next year
You just dont get it dont you? Warning after warning, rebuttals after one another, and you still keep talking the same old shit as if hoping the innocent ones will listen to you. Attention seeker?
No. You’re more of a ridiculous bastard who has a pathological hatred for a brand just because you had a bad experience with it.
waste of time to do this types of campaign,no matter what u teach to driver it is his/her attitude on the road to determine how the person driving and accordingly fuel consumption of the car.
Shell better give discounts on lubricants to benefit the customers or cash coupon to redeem fuel or much better campaign to benefit customers
am i the only one to find that yellow/silver color combination which goes along the lines of the Elantra pretty attractive-looking? :)
duckface!!!!!!
19.69 km/liter. That’s a great achievement. Real life normal driving style maybe 15 km/liter?
T&H ultra fanatic car asking why uses this car…
Hmm… a yellow Elantra ah LOL :) Actually it doesn’t look too bad in that color. It can be mistaken for a Veloster at a distance :) The Veloster can be ordered in yellow from the factory
Well folks, this is a real testement how advanced Hyundai engines has become these days. Rem, this is just the regular Gamma/Nu engines, the GDI version will do even BETTER :)
Seriously man, even my trusty FD1 can’t pull such figures no matter how light footed I try… and I’m using top grade Mobil 1 0W-20 fully syn oil and properly inflated tires and premium gas…
But then again, I’m in SG… where traffic jams is freq and we can hardly, if ever, maintain a constant speed for > 30 secs without slowing down/stopping
You can’t trust any figures from Korean makes
Shell did the test.
U cant trust Shell as well?
THen who shall we trust? The “legendary moron” Sam?
God forbidsss
Sam Loo, Whatever you telling not support by any proves and you never do research also~ You are bladdy brain retarded moron. Strong suggesting you go to see doctor~~ Go to see Vet also can~~
you guys really din give face loo…Shell wanna do a marketing campaign and get the message out to users to just be more light footed, save some gas abit, that oso wanna complain..aduh..
Well, it make no sense to T driver, T driver is rich, more higher fuel consumption more better chance to let us show to public we r rich. those always emphasize for low fuel consumption had proved they are poor + pity.
That is mighty impressive. My 1.4 TSI could only clock abt 5.7l/100km on my run.
That is full highway at 110kmh with Ron 97. Granted I was using aircon and electronics the whole time and should be driving at 90kmh instead. But still…. This is good!
I was told part of the trick is to use cruise control @ 90-100 km/hr speed. I still trying to find the cruise control in my Vios, maybe it’s hidden somewhere.
