    HAHAHA

    Just realised that one.

    My bad

    Question still stands though. Is there a Shell outlet which people don't trust?

    I personally know one in Chennai which isn't wonderful. Weirdly, the mileage when the car is filled there (travelling to bangalore) is less than when filled on Vittal Mallya Rd and Electronic City (on the way back).

      Well i do trust the shell outlets (atleast those in my nearby area). The fuel does last atleast 15kms more than others. Anyways since the fuel costs the same now in all bunks irrespective of the company i would like to fill at a petrol bunk which gives me more respect & where people are much polite (moreover you get free air too)

          Ive had a few suspicious experiences at the shell bunk near iskcon. Firstly, Ive had bad mileage of around 40 kmpl or less there though I watch out for any con tactics. Next, they didnt fill petrol in a bottle for me or even for one police guy once. Third, that free air is bullshit here. They didnt fill up the required pressures pretending to be deaf.

              And the reason as why COCO's are honest is that the higher company officials keep a track of almost everything. And any kind of malpractice gets highlighted.
              Few things which are done regularly and as surprise visites are:-
              Checking the Quality of the fuel
              Checking the meters
              Cheking the pricing and few more things which i don't remember

              Hence, i would suggest, If possible always go to COCO rather then CODO (Company owned and Dealer Operated) or DODO (Dealer owned and Dealer operated)

                • I always fill up in Shell. Thats the only way to make sure you are not getting cheated. Also, i am very particular about the quality of fuel used in my bike. Even when i was in Pune, i always used Shell bunks. My experience has been more than satisfactory with Shell

                    • ^^^ thanks for the list. It mentions 6 coco's in all. Has anyone tried the one mentioned in yeshwantpur? if yes, is it the one near the post office?

                          • I was previously in Bangalore and I had been riding there for almost two years. None in my experience other than the shell pumps were satisfactory. I used to fill up in the one past yeshwantpur. They always gave proper mileage. I would suggest only shell pumps and nothing else.

                            • BP near HSR police station has given good mileage, avoid the BP station near BTM 16th Main junction (Advaita), those ppl cheat
