| ![]() Yep, last time I filled @ Shell at 81.xx /l, yesterday got a pleasant shock to find Shell regular @ 75.xx /l. Good step by the govt to reduce the excessive excise on petrol vs diesel :-) Will reduce distortions in petrol price between Shell/Pvt vs PSU oil pumps, and also diesel vs petrol. |

| ![]() Filled up Shell Unleaded @ Rs. 72.25 per litre at their Ekkaduthangal pump yesterday. It is only a few paise (~ 3p to 5p) more expensive than the grubby oil PSU pumps. Hooray! Even if Shell fuel (petrol) costs a few rupees extra, the sheer peace of mind one gets is definitely worth the extra bucks one shells out (pun very much intended)! ![]() And the courtesy and customer friendly attitude shown by the pump attendants is a very welcome feature in a country where customers are generally treated with indifference at best and with rudeness at worst. Three cheers for Shell! Last edited by RSR : 19th September 2012 at 16:38. |

| ![]() Hurray! The price for unleaded today - 75.90/liter. I was shocked for a bit to see that Shell is retailing at 2p below the PSUs for a liter. That's a 7re dip from my last tankfull almost 15 days ago. |

| ![]() I am worried about filling Super unleaded at Shell now, which is dearer by Rs 7.00 per litre (Rs 79.25) instead of the Rs 2.50 per litre earlier, after the price adjustment. Not that I mind the price; but am worried that very few people will fill SULP now, so I may get aged stock whenever I go to fill. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I filled unleaded at 77/- over the weekend outside Pune octroi limits (near Khed Shivapur). Premium was 82.50/- so I assume this was some promo on the price (you'd expect it to be around 80/- for unleaded based on pricing history). Since PSU fuel is 75/- in Pune (73/- outside octroi limits), I thought it was worth it and tanked up. Appears the prices have come down even more since then. Good! |

| ![]() Filled up at Shell today. 75.90 at Old Madras Road (Bangalore) bunk. I saved Rs. 0.02 per liter of fuel in comparison to normal PSU's. How cool is that? It should make a significant contribution to "Azeem's Ferrari Fund" ![]() |
