      Shell Super or Speed 97.. is the best bet for a bike with 11.6:1
      Speed 93 is another, but don't even consider normal fuel :P

        Hi Guys,

        I am using my P135 for a year now. Indian Oil is closest to my house, used normal petrol from it until now. One of my friends recently told me he suspects the people are mixing kerosene as his Karizma performance deteriorated for some time when he started using IO. He moved to Shell now and is very happy, always uses it.
        Are there any noticable changes on the ride if someone moves to HP or Shell ?
        I also heard if you switch to shell, you have to stick to shell, once you change back, it ruins the performance ? does not seems much resonable, but is there something like that ?
