| ![]() Anyone trying shell diesel off late? I believe the current price difference is just Rs.3.xx and hence may be worth considering. I had used shell for my Indica earlier, (2006-2009) and was very pleased, but now I have a DDIS and hence not sure if this engine also likes shell. I am very tempted to try, but want to make sure before I do. |

61.94- PSU Diesel. It is worth paying the difference of Rs.3.8 per litre. . But do note, many people have not had a positive experience with Shell Diesel-Performance wise. I have felt the car lagging and having considerable loss of power when it was on Shell Diesel. So switched back to PSU. Do check on this thread for more such cases. I think their diesel is so pure, the Indian car engines are not ready to run on it. They are so used to the c**p dished out by PSU pumps. ![]() | |

Not sure how the DDIS would react to it, so a little worried if I should go with it or not. Guess, I will watch it for couple of months and then take the plunge. Ps - is yours a skoda? I thought they prefer pure diesel and not our C**P PSU diesel. ![]() | |

Since you mention DDiS, which is but FIAT 1.3 MJD, I suppose your experience should be no different than mine (except that you may get better mileage based on state of tune of your engine - 75bhp in Swift & Dzire) | |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Last time i filled Petrol at Hinjewadi Shell pump, it was 79.5 / liter. Around 1.5 Rs costly than HP. One question to all, people claim that average increases when you fill Petrol at Shell Pump. How much truth in this ? How much difference people has experienced ? |

With Shell IOCL petrol I got FE of 18-19 kmpl, whereas with IOCL petrol I got FE of 16 kmpl. Traffic conditions, driving style and vehicle load were similar in both trips, road condition was actually much better in the trip with IOCL petrol. Road was given a fresh coat of tar because of the elections. ![]() Shell petrol gives better FE - no doubt about it. ![]() Rohan | |

I tried Shell Diesel once in the New Fiesta and the car exhibited the same high decibel Diesel Clatter. My Endeavour with the Shell Diesel sounded like an old Diesel Generator. No difference in mileage whatsoever. I don't think i will shift to Shell Diesel even if they are priced similar to the PSU Diesels. | |

I have measured the mileage several times and now I stick to the HP pump near my house as it costs 1.5 Rs lower. It makes sense for people who think that the PSU pump they are using are taking them for a ride. With Shell, you get peace of mind. So, no harm in trying once. If you see any noticeable difference, stick to Shell otherwise not. In my case, it does not make sense to drive a few kms out of my regular route and pay Rs 1.5 more for no perceptible difference. | |

Whether the fuel itself is of better quality than PSU pumps I couldn't say but it's a reasonable stretch to that. Quote:
