Petrol company Shell has revealed it is facing Commerce Commission action under the Fair Trading Act over a product the company said improves fuel economy.
The company on Thursday published advertisements in major newspapers defending the “fuel economy formula” product.
The commission has confirmed it has informed Shell that it intends to take court action.
However Shell maintains it has already successfully defended the product against an Advertising Standards Authority complaint two years ago.
It claims tests show the fuel produces an increase in fuel economy of almost 1%, and will defend any prosecution.
The company said it has been co-operating with the commission during its near two-year investigation and is disappointed it is being taken to court.
A Commerce Commission spokesman said Shell’s decision to publish advertisements in major newspapers on Thursday was out of the Commission’s control, and it will not be making any further comment.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
