Help for bad FC

Extract:

Dear Elite member,

Thank you for choosing Shell as your preferred brand of fuel. In appreciation for your ongoing support, Shell Escape is pleased to invite you and a guest to attend our Fuel Economy Clinic organized as part of the launch of new Shell Fuel Economy Formula in Singapore.

Hosted by couple John and Helen Taylor who set the Guinness World Record for fuel efficiency through a drive around the world, the Clinic will help you understand how to improve your driving habits and save on cost of fuel.

The Taylors will share how their record-breaking experience was achieved, using a combination of the new Shell Fuel Economy Formula and FuelStretch driving tips in successfully circumnavigating 28,970km around the globe across 25 countries, in 78 days of driving, with only 24 fill-ups and 1,303 litres of fuel. They achieved an average of 22.2km per litre and surpassing all expectations of how well the fuel would perform. The Taylors used a completely standard car - a VW Golf FSI1.6 - breaking the manufacturer's official consumption figures of 14.3 km per litre by more than 55%.

Come learn first-hand from the Taylors on how you can also increase fuel efficiency through a combination of improved driving styles and choosing the right fuel.

Seats are limited and you are encouraged to register early to avoid disappointment. We look forward to meeting you at our Shell Fuel Economy Clinic!


Yours sincerely
The Shell Escape Team



I think we also break the record. In the opposite direction.
Let's show the Taylors how to burn some fuel.

Maybe we should be given PLATINUM member instead of just elite.

On the note of Fuel effiency thru driving style ... ive been effortlessly achieving 8.3km/l on the average for the past 6months of driving my Auto8. However, the last two tanks short changed me of about 50-60km.. bringing it down to 7.2km/l.

Any idea why? Shell 98 quality not as lean as before, never STIR properly? And nope, I did not gain any weight..
