BHPian | ![]() That depends on distance from Mangalore, from where shell gets its supply. |

If you consider other petrol pumps apart from Shell, the difference would be hardly 1Re Max when compared with Mangalore. Distance from Mangalore - Bangalore =350kms Mangalore - Davangere = ~330kms | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Would the shell normal petrol be better than the speed & premium petrol sold by BP & IOC? I fill BP Speed from the bunks here in Chennai & I don't feel any difference on my baleno. I am paying 54/- for a litre.. |

No harm in switching from Shell to PSU Diesel, just make sure the PSU pump you switch to is a reliable one. There is another thread about reliable fuel pumps, look that up. | |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Better to stick with one brand,but this is always not possible, especially when you hit the highway. Just ensure the reliability of the other pump from where you fill the premium fuel. I have mixed Speed 93 (Pondy) with Shell super (Chennai) a few times without any issues. When filled from an equally good bunk, I felt Speed was as good as Shell, if not better. And Rs 14.00 cheaper, at Pondy prices! Shell may have some proprietary formula for it's premium fuels, but all the PSU fuels will be the same IMO. |

| ![]() ^^^ Of course, practically it isn't always possible! What I ment is to TRY and avoid it as far as possible. And the "issues" will obviously not be apparent the way you have mentioned... its not like your car will blow up, lol. Just that the additives may not work at their optimum. Even I have not observed any difference in efficiency or otherwise when filling form my fav COCO BPCL bunk or from any Shell bunk. I would still prefer shell due to much better service and accurate air pressure gauge (at least at the bunk I used to go to), but not if the difference in prices is more than a buck or two. |
