| ![]() One of the major problems we face today is the really bad fuel that lots of pumps sell. Often it hampers the performance of the car or even leads to permanent damage. I think it would be helpful if we all get together and create a database of "Good" and "Bad" places to fill up. For example: Good: The Indian Oil pump opposite Tulip (formerly Juhu Centaur). We've been filling up here for years with no problems. Bad: Vikram Petrol Pump (Bharat Petroleum) on Juhu-Versova link road. Their diesel screwed up my brother-in-law's Palio, and their petrol was so impure, we had to get the carburettor on our Gypsy King cleaned out. At the time, we had an account with the pump and were exclusively filling up there, so it had to be their fuel that caused the problems. Mods, hope I haven't put this in the wrong section. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() In Delhi, using HP (Power) for the past couple of years, so - 1) Company owned & operated pump opposite Hyatt Regency (on Ring Road), next to the Indianoil pump 2) Pump next to Ansal Plaza In the past, have used BP & Indianoil and found the following ones very reliable - 1) Indianoil company owned & operated pump opposite Nehru Place Bus Terminal 2) Bharat Petroleum pump next to it |

Also use the Indian Oil one on Khel Gaon road near to SiriFort Auditorium. Never had any issues with "starting from 0" and quality of fuel. Also doesnt add 2% surcharge on my credit card which offers no-fuel surcharge. | |

![]() Always used power in my santro - now wondering if I can use it in NHC too. Are you guys sure its 87 octane + additives, then it should be ok. Also, have observed that the service staff at HP petrol pumps are generally more courteous than at others - IndianOil staff being the worst of the lot.

Use below link of Hindustan Petroluem for information on Power; I somehow had the impresion it was 91 octane with additives but you could be right, it may be 87 with additives. The Power 93 is not available at "our" pump AFAIK - http://www.hindustanpetroleum.com/power/index.html ![]() | |
