I have taken up a challenge in collaboration with Shell Singapore with the aim to:
1) IMPROVE my Driving habits
2) UNDERSTAND the benefits of Shell FuelSave
3) SHARE with you my fuel savings tips.
I share a car with my boyfriend and due to nature of personality, I tend to be a little bit more throttle happy at times unnecessarily due to impatience. We drive a Mercedes C63, 6.3L car so it is a complete fuel guzzler especially for Singapore where it is a ‘Stop and Start’ situation on the roads everyday. The extra dollar in the wallet would be most welcome!
I thought about some of the habits I needed to change mainly being:
A) Driving smoothly to the traffic light, a natural habit to rush though I’m not in one.
B) I’ve never really tracked how far my car can travel on a full tank, though I love playing the litres/100km game in my car.
C) I need to check what is in my boot regularly, I tend to keep extra weight unnecessarily!
WHAT CAN I DO?
Step 1: To take up this challenge to be more fuel efficient, I grabbed at Shell FuelSave Log card which you can grab at any Shell Station.
Step 2: I pumped a full tank (51.22L) of FuelSave 98 and noted my current car mileage (40,957km) and wrote both in the log card.
Step 3: When I finish up the full tank and get ready for the next Pump, I will note the distance travelled first. Then I will follow through Steps 1 & 2 again.
With a simple formula to help me calculate:
EASIER DONE THAN SAID!
Game on!
