6. The Programmes will each feature a different type of vehicle being driven along the same track. In order to enter the Competition, entrants must estimate how far the vehicle will travel along the track on only one litre of petrol. Hints and tips will be provided on the Competition Entry Page and/or in the Programmes themselves as to they type of vehicle being driven, some facts and information about the individual vehicle itself and the length of the track. Only one entry per Programme is permitted, unless you are a Shell Drivers Club member. As detailed on the Competition entry page, such Shell loyalty scheme members may, upon entering their Shell loyalty scheme number, submit a second estimation of the distance the driver has travelled per Programme.
7. Yahoo! has used best endeavours to measure the exact distance travelled by the various vehicles featured in the Programmes for the purposes of the Competition and that such distances are as correct and accurate as possible. The distance travelled by the various vehicles was measured using the PLX Kiwi Fuel Saving Device, operated by a third party, and Yahoo! shall accordingly use these distances to monitor the Competition and award the prizes, as described in paragraph 8 below. Please note that many factors can affect a vehicle’s performance, including the age of the vehicle, the time since its last service and use by the previous owner and as such all results given in the Programmes are dependant upon these varying factors (some of which shall be revealed in the Programme hints provided). Accordingly, as the distances have been measured using the PLX Kiwi Fuel Saving Device and are dependant upon various other factors, the results are not intended to be an accurate representation of the fuel efficiency of the featured vehicles in day to day use nor an independent assessment of the fuel efficiency of the vehicles in general and should not be interpreted as such.
8. There will be one winner for each Programme. The winner shall be the entrant who estimated correctly or came closest to estimating correctly the actual distance travelled by the vehicle featured in each Programme, as calculated and decided by Yahoo! in its sole discretion (and as described in paragraph 7). The winner shall win USD $500 to be spent on Shell fuel in their local territory. There shall also be five runners-up, being those entrants who came closest, behind the winner, to estimating correctly the actual distance travelled by the vehicle featured in each Programme, as calculated and decided by Yahoo! in its sole discretion. The five runners-up shall each win a maximum of USD $100 to be spent on Shell fuel in their local territory. Should there be more than one winner, meaning that more than one entrant estimated correctly or came closest to estimating correctly the distance travelled, then the entrant who entered their estimate first shall win the winner’s prize of USD $500 for that Programme. Should there be more than five runners-up, meaning that more than five entrants came closest, behind the winner, to estimating correctly the actual distance travelled by the vehicle featured in each Programme then the five runners-up who entered their estimates first shall each win a runners-up prize of a maximum of USD $100 for that Programme. The winner’s prize of USD $500 and the runner-up prizes of USD $100 shall each be converted into the currency of the relevant winner and runners-up, at such exchange rates that are current at the date of the announcement of the winners and runners-up of the relevant Programme. All prizes may be paid in cash and/or Shell vouchers, at Shell’s sole discretion. Shell may also make payment of any Competition prize in the form of a Shell "Bonuslink loyalty card" which will be loaded with points totalling the entrant’s prize value which they can redeem at Shell stations in their territory.
9. Yahoo!’s decision is as to the winner(s) and any runners-up is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The winners and/or runners-up will be contacted by Shell or Yahoo! via email and their details may also be posted on the Competition website.
10. Every reasonable effort will be made to contact the winners and/or runners-up. If a winner and/or a runner-up cannot be contacted within a reasonable time of the relevant Competition Programme closing date, the prize will revert to Shell and may be awarded to another entrant at Yahoo and/or Shell’s absolute discretion.
