same car two tanks 1.7lt civic

two completely empty tanks which are filled with equal amounts of mobil & shell

moneys on the mobil, cause they are running the car to empty on each attempt, but they didn't drain the fuel line at the start, yet they will on the 2nd run

they running 98 or 95 mobile gas?

that would be the only difference.

hardly a fair test - only way to do it would be to set it to cruise control 100kms around an overal track. It is false advertising however if shell are suggesting their fuel will make a car go significantly further.

Same course, same distance, same driving conditions, shell went 7 kms further ... BIG savings ... yeah right ...

still opposite to what everyone on this site has returned with real world driving conditions wont touch the stuff, mainly as there is none on my normal routes, cept the clevdon one

I agree. It was so close that any slight variable could make the difference. I don't doubt Fair Go's integrity, I think they really tried to be even, but yeah, as Ian said, not worth going too far out of your way to fill up with Shell.

[NUTBAR]

I wonder how much gas you would use getting to a shell station?

bugger ! sweet F/A difference

What's that as a percentage difference?

Just guessing here, but assuming that a Civic has a 45 litre tank and returns 16km/l, that's a range of 720km. A 7km variation on this is 1%. That, gentle readers, is fuck all difference.

your not really a customer but an employee of the firm so .......

It's enough of a difference that they can't be sued or slagged off yet reel in the $$$ from poor unsuspecting motorists. I bet there are (were) plenty of codgers out there driving for miles just bo buy $10 worth of the stuff.
