The IOCL one at ORR is what I regularly use, didn't know that it was a COCO one. I read mixed reviews about it, so I tanked up from the HP near BDA this time. let's see how it goes. |

I read about the IOC CoCo on this thread and now avoid filling up there. My normal fill up point is the IOC on St.Marks Rd. where the erstwhile Bowring Kulfi stall was. Since fill up is once every 2 weeks, I usually end up going to town for some work or the other. Incase I need to tank up nearby HSR, I now go to the HP bunk opposite BDA complex near ORR and BDA signal. Fuel quality is pretty decent and they haven't tried to cheat so far. Ampere suggested this one to me since he gets his Duster filled up from there as well. Also, one important point is to always get down from the car and stand next to the pump/attendant. Have seen many times people prefer to be seated in the car while filling. |

Can you please tell me how they cheat this way? Once they fill for 100 and stop, cant he refill for remaining 400? Haven't gone through this entire thread so please forgive my ignorance. Fell for the "Oh you said Rs XXX, i thought u said Rs xxx" trick at the HP |

I use this bunk since it first opened around 2008 or so. No worries with Quality or Quantity so far. Only irritants are the nasty queue jumpers... I also prefer to get out of the car to fill up. Much better always. |

There is a Shell on the KR Puram-Whitefield road, no? I think a little distance after Phoenix on the north side of the road. |

Had a very shocking experience at Shell yesterday. I had gone to the Vittal Mallya Rd. bunk yesterday to fill up the Altis. Tank was filled for Rs. 3,197 of petrol. Paid by credit card. The guy swiped the card and got back just the credit card charge slip and not the actual bill. Since my dad maintains accounts for running expenses, he always insists on the bill. The attendant looked surprised that we were asking for the bill. He said he doesn't have it and he had given it to us. We told him a firm NO. He started looking for it and after a few minutes, he pulled it out from somewhere near the trash can. By this time I had already noted down that the pump was showing Rs.3,197. The shocker was that the credit charge slip was Rs.3,397. He had charged Rs.200 more! He started apologizing saying it was a mistake he had done while typing. We asked him to go to the store manager inside and void the transaction. He quickly said NO NO, here is Rs.200 cash. I asked my dad if he wanted to register a complaint but dad gave him the benefit of doubt and said it might be a typo. Although it could be an honest mistake, the entire episode was a little suspicious. Not only did he charge Rs.200 more but he lost the original bill. I don't know how the attendant will benefit since it was a card transaction. Be careful when paying by card. Always insist on bill and check the amount on card slip. |

Cross referencing this post from the Shell thread. Always double check the amount on the bill + credit card charge slip: |

Very strange to see such an experience at Shell. Have been filling at the Shell, near Lalbagh, since its inception and never had such an experience. The attendant always gives the print from the machine and asks the customer to go in and give the card to the cashier. Only in such cases where the customer does not alight from the car, the attendant swipes and gets the slip for sign. |
