Good Petrol Pumps ?

[TeeJayy]

Are you referring to the one near the Agara flyover opposite the lake?
And why is it to be avoided? I fill up here only all the time and have done so for a few years now.
The incident you have mentioned is not this bunk.

Nope, I am talking of the one very close to Silkboard, not the one you are referring to. Have had a similar incident there. The guy stopped putting in petrol when I got distracted and had my eyes off the station (for merely 1-2 secs) and claimed 500 rs, whereas the petrol filled was for ~ Rs. 380.

The incident which I mentioned in my earlier post is not this bunk (have already mentioned the location there)

A must avoid (yes, I am screaming) petrol bunk - IOCL, Hosur road, the one near Silkboard.

An incident that is relevant here -
On May 13, 2012, I went to an IOCL petrol bunk (viveknagar road - near Koramangala sony center signal) to get a tank full. The bike galloped 9.11 litres and the amount on the gas station showed Rs. 761 ( I am sure of both the numbers). Gave my card for swiping. Then realised something's not right, the petrol rate here in Bangalore is Rs. 73.5 and hence the amount must not have exceeded Rs. 735!. Went to the guy who was about to swipe for 761, asked for the system generated bill. And there it was, 9.11 litres and Rs. 670! The guy said sorry saar it is Rs. 670 and not Rs. 761.
I still dont know how did that station show Rs. 761! Its terrifying to see what level these guys can go to to cheat us

The thread has not moved for some time...but still
has the Shell pump opened in Rabale?

Last time I checked it was permanently closed. I had sent an email to Shell India for their future plans of Petrol Pumps in Mumbai and they say they dont have any as of yet.

[NiXTriX]

Is there any way to check if the bunk is actually dispensing Premium fuel or are they just giving normal petrol filled in premium tanks?

Chandigarh

Chandigarh - Sec 33 - Suraksha 33(Indian Oil Owned Petrol Pump) - The BEST one.

[JitenMistry]

I used Indian Oil Extra Premium for my R15 (v.1) coz it give me better mileage and performance (Since when I tested 700rs normal vs Extra Premium petrol, I came to know that Extra Premium petrol give more mileage as compare normal petrol [HP/BHRAT/Indian Oil])
Also using citi bank credit card, I am getting waiver for Fuel Surcharge (17.50 on 700 Rs petrol) and also get bonus point which I am redeem later to buying same Indian Oil petrol.

As per my experience the best petrol pumps in Mumbai are:

1. HP - BKC (Its a COCO)
2. Indian Oil - Cargo Airport Road (Its a COCO)
3. Godrej - Vikhroli
4. HP - Airoli (Opposite Patni Computers)

The worst I have faced till date:
1. HP - Sakinaka (There are 2 HP petrol bunks and both of them are worst....I request you to never ever make an attempt filling from them)
2. HP - Vikhroli

The thread has not moved for some time...but still
has the Shell pump opened in Rabale?

My observations -

Bike: Honda unicorn Dazzler
Note: Riding conditions were similar in all 3 cases below.

Petrol filled: Shell normal of Rs200/- (i.e 2.85 lit)
Petrol price: Rs70/lit approx.
Kms. done: 164 kms
Avg: 57.5 km/lit

Petrol filled: HP normal petrol of Rs200/- (i.e 2.91)
Petrol price: 68.7/lit approx.
kms done: 158 km
Avg: 54.3 km/lit

BP normal petrol of rs200 also lasted for 157 km, so avg around 54 kmpl.

So I conclude that though shell is bit expensive, the total running cost is less while using shell when compared with HP or BP.
Also I felt that the bike runs a bit smoother on shell petrol. But the only problem is that its difficult to locate shell bunks inside my city(Pune). Also shell prices are different at different locations around Pune.

Why don't you gguys collectively complain against these dacoits to the respective company. Believe me it works

[maraque]

I am not a regular customer to Shell, I have no complaints about them, only thng is earlier they had a suction machine used for oil change (FREE ) now they do it manually. I felt that a full tank at Shell lasts longer than any other, and quantity is exact

I have got conned at

1. IOC (Kammanahalli Main Road - near Ring road junction)
2. HP (80feet road - subbanapalya - near Patel Public School)
3. IOC (Banaswadi main Road - near Sri Ayyappa Temple Bus Stop)
4. BP (Not sure about the name - the only one petrol bunk in that area near bus stop) Shivajinagar (Loots like a bandit)

5. THE DEADLIEST PETROL BUNKS ARE THE ONES AT TIN FACTORY BUS STOP (especially the one located on right side -when you are heading towards KR PURAM) Car guys get looted like anything, I had got filled a 7up 2litres bottle at 11pm and guess what was on the meter? 215Rupees but he took only Rs.143 from me as I was aware of whats happening, lucky this time.

I dont trust any petrol bunk in Bangalore, except SHELL

+100
I stay in RM Nagar and filled petrol in the tinfactory stop once, My ZMA gave a milege of 26.I was scared but next time I filled in the ITPL road shell...it was back to normal.
Most of the IOL in B'lore S**ks

+1. I've been conned too. I've filled up LPG for my car occassionally from this bunk and they loot!

BP pump near Bamboo Bazaar seems good. Had filled couple of tank fulls for my RX there.

All said and done, apart from Shell everybody else seem to be a con job

True. Every time I fill from a petrol bunk other than Shell my petrol tank develops a healthier appetite and drinks more fuel than if it were at a Shell bunk.

And add the IOC bunk near the National Games Village, Koramangala to that list. I got conned really good there.
