Today is the first official record taking of Shell 95 Fuelsave. Previous two records are now omitted from the statistics summary (due to being transition fuel mix).



Was working extremely late the past two weeks (left office around 11pm - midnight for half of the duration and past 8pm for most of the rest). That gave me a lot of opportunity to coast on momentum (from 140 km/h freerolling till around 60km/h) since there are no vehicles behind me that I need to worry about.

Too bad it could not best two earlier records from Esso 95 of 16.527km/l and 16.777 km/l respectively. Maybe that is because I used the NKVE previously to go home while this time I used the LKSA and onto Hicom (was feeling stingy since it was RM 3.50 vs RM 1.10 in toll charges). There's also one instance of getting caught in the KESAS highway jam after getting off the LKSA.

I am looking forward to seeing how the FC will be like on normal driving conditions (i.e. no late night drives) but that has to wait till my workload eases (which is still far far away). Hopefully next week will be a better week and I'll be able to leave the office earlier.

As for fuel performance, the lack of power can definitely be felt on climbing mild gradients. Accelerating up a gentle slope takes a bit longer compared to Esso 95 and on leveled roads, it struggles to go faster once hitting past 110km/h (with the same foot pressure on the accelerator, the Esso 95 might have hit 140 km/h). The upside is that you tend to stick to lower speed and revs since 110km/h is around 2600 RPM (and maybe as a result, better FC). That said, it takes a lot of driving discipline to fight the urge press the pedal harder to hit the 140km/h that you are so used to.

Claims of Shell 95 being underpowered is a reasonable claim but whether it gives better FC versus other brands is something that will take months of record taking to find out.

Waaa... Great deal! Still got ka?

Your antibody still strong, i placed my booking right after the 1st test drive, initially wanted to book 308THP already

bro, how long had your fofi go so far, what i means is the total distance of ur car

ford focus model 2010 and 2011 got what deiffent? apart from the year made time.?

currently interested on ford focus but still think wether petrol or diesel type better ? any advise

very minor facelift only...


diesel for sure....

Diesel is better save money on the long run

thanks for gahpadu and jimtan replies.

i tested focus tdci very power and good handling but i experincing there is a turbo lag feel, is this car build to mean like that?

put aside fc saving and turbocharge, petrol type is it more or less same performance and spec like tdci?

the car is heavy, it takes awhile b4 it gets moving.

but beside that, its
diesel > petrol in terms of FC.
diesel > petrol in terms of torque.
diesel < petrol in terms of HP.

but i think in city driving its the torque tats matters.

really suggest u for the diesel version

i m a owner myself. jst pick it up last thursday.

turbo lag is normal..sprint booster can help to overcome that matter.


petrol got better top speed but the important is how fast it can be achieve

diesel vs petrol
134hp vs 145hp
320Nm vs 185Nm

numbers dont lie..

Installed sprint booster will be no more turbo lag? coz i feel that the lag some times will be dangerous and cause uncomfortable to the passenger.

those tcdi all already get used to the turbo lag?

going to test drive the petrol type...and soon will be in the league too either is diesel or petrol.......

No such thing~ Maybe cause they do have ready stock, so they willing to let go at a better price. This is marketing strategy If only you're from KL

Added on September 19, 2011, 10:21 pmWell Imagine you are driving a normal car.. Ron 95 perform better or Ron97? Then Imagine Diesel Vs Ron97.. i bet you can feel the difference.. Diesel TDCI main aim is to save cost in the long run not really a performance car Good for City Drive
