Sabah winner for Shell 1 Litre Challenge clocks 32.63 km/l
The Shell 1 Litre Challenge East Malaysia completed its Sabah leg last weekend with Adrian Goh Wui Phui bagging the top prize of RM3,000 having clocked 32.63 km/l over a distance of 78.0km. Right behind him, Yong Vui Foh and Suhaila binti Buntak each took home RM500 with a consumption of 31.98 km/l and 23.39 km/l respectively.
Eight finalists have been shortlisted for the Sabah leg, with each being put behind the wheel of a Proton Waja 1.6 to drive along a pre-determined route designed to be representative of a routine daily journey.
Come 12 June, the trio will go head-to-head against three finalists from the Sarawak leg in the National level final to compete for the title of Shell East Malaysia FuelSave Champion – a crown that comes with a RM50,000 prize along with the chance to represent Malaysia at the ‘Asia’s Smartest Driver’ challenge hosted during the Shell Eco Marathon.
“Shell has over 100 years of experience in developing the technology and services that make us a leading provider of innovative and new fuels today. We believe that not all fuels are the same and as issues of fuel costs and the environmental impact of motoring begin to increasingly affect our lifestyle, it is important for our customers to be well informed and to make smart fuel choices. Since we first introduced Shell FuelSave here in March this year, the support from our friends from Sarawak has indeed been encouraging. It signifies how many people are interested in becoming a more fuel efficient driver,” said Mr Leslie Ng, National Retail Sales Manager, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd.
“Passionate about helping the world’s motorists get the most out of every drop, we want to use the expertise inside Shell to help drivers become expert fuel-savers themselves. The 1 Litre Challenge reflects this and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to educate motoring communities to be more fuel efficient and savvy.”
Sabah’s 1 Litre Challenge State Winner Adrian Goh Wui Phui was thrilled to have clocked the most kilometres at the challenge, “This experience has been an enriching one. Not only have I truly experienced the effectiveness of adopting FuelSave tips as well as using the right fuel. I also now know how far 1 litre of fuel can take me.”
