| ![]() I have used shell diesel in my 2004 NA DLS as well as the 2007 DLG. The DLG gave me better mileage and pickup, whereas with my DLS the mileage dropped and pickup remained the same as BP regular. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() in BLR, Shell regular petrol costs Rs. 50.66 = petrol from HP, BP, IOC, etc., so question where goes the subsidy? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Subsidies are not for the inefficiencies but for the Kerosene, LPG and Diesel which are grossly subsiddised |

| ![]() I have NHC and I have found that there is a large variation in FE when I have used Shell (normal). The range has been between 10-18 in city conditions, with no major change in driving patterns. Can anyone provide pointers why there is such a large variation in FE. |

A good question, and the reasons you get an increase in overall FE when you fill from a Shell bunk is mainly because the fuel is pure and not adulterated. I have noticed an increase in the overall FE in my car when ever I fill with Shell unleaded petrol by as much as 1.5 kms overall! A fair assessment is that 50% of all PSU fuel-pumps indulge in under-dispensation. I myself have been cheated once when my Alto's tank can hold only 35 and I had at least 2 liters already in it when I went to the bunk and the guy filled in 36.67 litres! ![]() How they do it is quite simple:
To counter this menace at the PSU pumps, you can exercise your right by asking then to fill up a certified Weights and Measures Certified Can, which all fuel pumps are obliged to keep with them. Hope these tips help. Cheers, gpa Last edited by gpa : 6th August 2009 at 16:53. Reason: typo | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() +1 to what gpa said above ! I too try to almost always fill up at Shell bunks but invariably, circumstances have made me fill elsewhere and I too have experienced a drop in mileage sometimes and sometimes in performance also ! |

| ![]() I am only filling at Shell bunks, hence the variation is a little baffling |

Better to find out and stick to bunks like Shell, even if they are a little out of the way. And not all PSU bunks are bad, there must be a few good ones left. | |
