Good news for all shell lovers
Today i was going on my way to a nearby RTO & the fuel in my bike came to reserve. I thought of filling it & then i found a nearby shell fuel bunk but i didnt wanted to purchase any petrol from it due to the high price. Then suddenly i had saw a banner on the bunk on which it was written "now petrol at 58.95". I was like
. Then i had enquired about it in the bunk & they had told me that they had reduced the price of the petrol. It is still costly than the petrol at other outlets of IOCL & BPCL etc. But still 1 rupees is a negligible amount for me due to the respect the shell guys provide & the quality fuel they provide. Also they dont do any tampering or any aduteration with the petrol.
I know that i might be the last person to come to know about the price reduction but still i am reporting it here.NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THAT

. Some claims are rather atrocious ,as much as 100% improvement in mileage with this device. It will draw anywhere from 10 to 30 amps on 12 V FROM THE BATTERY.This means that the Alternator has to charge to this extent.
.which means it will load the engine for the charging power.
..So power gained is used for Power generation 

.There is a site called water4gas.com. Only this particular product seem to be able to stand up to the test. But as usual there are for and against arguments and no clear cut Test results available,from a trust worthy agency.

After the implementation of New Auto policy (W.E.F 1.4.10), Euro 4 ( same as BS 4) grade of petrol and Diesel has been made mandatory in all metro cities. for the rest of India, Euro 3 is being implemented and Euro 2 grade is discontinued.Originally posted by Sarvajit View Post@All: Please confirm if my findings are correct:
For petrol, there are 2 ratings, one is the AKI (Anti-Knock Index) &the RON (Research Octane No.)
Golden question: When we say a particular fuel say Extra Premium or Power is of 91 octane, which is the rating we are referring to? Does it mean that it is of the same 87 octane, but of RON 91?
I know that normal petrol is 87 octane. This seems to be the AKI.
What is the RON of normal fuel?
I know that ExtraPremium contains additives&friction busters etc.but does it mean that it is of a higher octane rating? Some say it is the same 87 octane. Please clarify.
Edit: Found this post on a car site, if you scroll down below, you will find that the RON for normal fuel seems to be 88 or 89, whereas for Speed91/Power/ExtraPremium it is 91. So is this the octane no.we are referring to?
Fuel requirement for Hyundai i10. - Page 1 | Maintain Your Car | Car Forums - CarWale
Also given is a chart for choosing right petrol according to compression ratios.
Under 10: 1 - Normal Fuel
10:1 to 13.5 :1 - 91 Octane
13.5:1 to 17:1 - 97 Octane
I would like views from you guys on this!
As per the Specification of Euro 3 and Euro 4, RON should be min 91 irrespective of premium or normal. The main difference in both grades are sulfur( Euro 3 - 150 ppm, Euro 4 -50 ppm).
The difference between premium grade and normal is, they add special additives which no way affects the RON.
AKI is the average of MON(motor octane number) and RON.
MON : This is similar to RON, except that the readings ( in laboratory testing) are measured at different RPM and Load condition. MON should be Min 81 in both euro 3 and Euro 4.
RON 88 which you mentioned in the thread is the specification of Euro 2 ( BS2) grade which no longer exists.

Octane or Petrol
I using Hero Honda Hunk. I use normal petrol. But some guys say that Octane is better than Petrol as Octane is a purer version of Petrol. They also say that using Petrol will result in Carbon deposit in Silencer. Should I migrate to Octane?
