The 2014 edition of Shell's FuelSave Challenge saw everyday drivers experiencing tangible benefits of fuel efficient driving, with the top achiever getting an 84 percent improvement in fuel efficiency. Melissa Huang almost doubled her fuel efficiency score from 14km/L to 25.8km/L - by simply applying fuel efficient driving techniques and tweaking her driving habits.

The drivers undertook two drives on a pre-determined route - one before, and one after receiving fuel efficiency driving training by a Shell Fuel Scientist.
The drivers saw a significant improvement in their fuel efficiency on their second drive, achieving an average of 23.4km/L - a 54 percent increase compared to their first drive.
Prior to the event, Ms. Melissa was not aware that making small tweaks to her driving habits - even as simple as keeping at 2,000rpm at all times - would make a considerable difference to her fuel efficiency.
To date, over 800,000 drivers in Singapore have benefitted from Shell's efforts to be more fuel efficient. In addition, Shell also introduced the Shell FuelSave Log Card, a mini-booklet which allows drivers to track their fuel efficiency and manually log their results upon refuelling.
Available at all Shell stations in the island (until stocks run out), the Shell FuelSave Log Card aims to encourage drivers to be more self-aware of their driving habits and take steps to drive more fuel efficiently.

The three other participants, Ong Kah Teng, Albert Lum Teck Meng and Noor Izlin Bte Ismail, in addition to Melissa, drove on a full tank of Shell FuelSave in a 1.6-litre Toyota Corolla Altis, and experienced how tips such as avoiding over-revving and excess idling, driving smoothly and planning trips carefully, can make a tangible difference to fuel consumption.
