Its bit confusing for me. Given the various points raised in this threads, lets take two things are given :-

1. Most of the cars sold in India are not BS III compliant and are sold with same compliance all across the country.

2. Barring some cities, everywhere else only BSII diesel is available.

But now, if we take into consideration that more often than not, people who have to drive extensively on highways are the ones who prefer Diesel cars. Maybe it be frequent tarvellers, taxi drivers, tour operators etc. So this means that most of the cars end up consuming copious amounts of BSII fuel, even if they are registered in cities with BSIII compatibility. And the cars which are sold in places with anyhow only have BSII fuel also consume the 'inferior' fuel as the cars are BSIII.

This should mean that most of the cars should have one problem for the other, but I donot think this is the case, otherwise we would have heard about a common problem from all diesel car owners.
