I used to fill in one of these places: indian oil at velachery, chennai or shell at mahindra city, chennai. I found both to be good. But of late the fuel quality of shell is pathetic. After the last fill i found the car to be very underpowered, need a down shift quite often, acceleration with full load not as expected (need to press hard to make the are go fast). I was like very irritated with the car and thought fiesta has become bad after the initial few months.

But to my surprise when i filled it at the indian oilthe car is again so smoooth and so powerful that i need not down shift (even from 5th gear on immediately reducing from 120-50 or 40). I am so irritated with shell. One day I have to go there and fire the shell guys there and report them i guess.

I also learnt a lesson that whenever the car doesnt feel smooth and powerful first check the fuel quality.
