Total Excellum Diesel

Hi All,

Just though I would post this as some may find it useful even in this time of stupid priced diesel.

I can confirm that most of their claims seem to be true, I have been using Excellum for about 2 weeks now (2 tanks full) and the car seems to run better, use less fuel and have a bit more uummphhh..

I am going to continue using it, even though it costs more it seems to be worth it especially in these older engines.

I am now prepared and ready for the barrage of insult and return fire on this thread lol!!!

Here is their official bumph about the fuel:-

Choose the fuel that gives you more
TOTAL EXCELLIUM is our advanced fuel, available for drivers of both unleaded and diesel vehicles. We developed it specifically to perform for drivers every day and unlike other advanced fuels, TOTAL EXCELLIUM is for everyone – not just high performance cars or highly tuned engines.

When you choose to put TOTAL EXCELLIUM in your tank, you're choosing a fuel that really does give you more. More peace of mind for the environment around you; more comfort on each and every drive; more peace and quiet; more miles from every tank.

For two years, our team of engineers and technicians ran extensive tests to develop the best performing advanced fuel. The tests to develop TOTAL EXCELLIUM lasted 3,000 hours, 217,000 miles and we used 100 vehicles.

More peace of mind for the environment
The tests proved that TOTAL EXCELLIUM can cut carbon dioxide emissions (the gas that adds to the greenhouse effect) by up to 5%. It also reduces pollutants like carbon monoxide and black smoke by up to 25%*.

More comfort
Unique detergent molecules work in harmony with your engine, cleaning the most sensitive parts ensuring a smoother ride.

More peace and quiet
TOTAL EXCELLIUM diesel reduces the noise inside and outside the vehicle by up to 37% when starting up the engine from cold.

More miles from every tank
TOTAL EXCELLIUM increases fuel economy by an average of 4% - that's as much as 30 extra miles from every tank compared to our standard fuels and 14 extra miles on average.

Staying one step ahead
We continue to support our environmentally aware customers, and our planet, by introducing greener fuels in advance of legislation. With modern refineries, we have been delivering fuels that meet the Government's 2005 specifications since 1998.

Here's how we try harder:

* Advanced fuels such as TOTAL EXCELLIUM are much cleaner and can cut carbon dioxide emissions by 5% and carbon monoxide emissions by up to 25%.
* TOTAL are on target to meet the Government's specifications on bio-fuels. Basically it means that 2.5% of fuel mix is to be made of fuel which comes from living things such as wood. It's a useful way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard transport fuels.
