BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, What is the difference in quality between the 2 versions of petrol sold by Shell? Any ideas? When i asked the attendant, they say some additives are added. |

Check if your car really needs the premium version, because for my car, it's recommended to avoid premium petrol. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Bye Bye Shell. Back to "Pure for Sure" COCO Stations. Current Bangalore price for normal petrol: 65.66. I fill from the one in Jeevan Beema Nagar, Opp to the Traffic Police Station. I get the best mileage from this particular pump, so I believe that its the best out of all pumps I've visited when it comes to the authenticity of the Meter Readings. PS: Ask the attendant to lock the nozzle handle if you're filling for anything above Rs.300 |

| ![]() Shell super is Rs 74.00 and normal Rs 71.50 in Chennai. HP power is Rs 64.xx and normal Rs 61.xx. But I am sticking with Shell for the car and am tryig out Power for the bike. If bike seems ok, will try it for car as well. But after experiencing Shell service for over four years, I hate to enter PSU bunks now. Last edited by Gansan : 14th April 2011 at 17:20. |

With COCO, there is no compromise on quality (unless the PSU company itself is supplying sub standard fuel) or quantity (unless the furl pump staff is secretly siphoning off fuel- A scenario which looks unlikely). So, MeThink that you'll do just fine with any COCO. | |

| ![]() I can't blame Shell or other pvt players. The government is keeping the prices low in spite of stating that they would not regulate the price of petrol. For the time being the COCO outlets seem to be a smarter choice for consumers. Just back from my trip to TN, KL. The price of normal petrol was around Rs 62.x per litre. None of the Reliance pumps are selling fuel (they are still open). I guess they are waiting for the government to announce the price hike once the assembly elections are completed around the country. |

| ![]() Shell regular is now Rs. 76.45 per litre in Hyderabad (up from 75.95). I don't understand how/why Shell is increasing prices when the international crude prices are going down! |

![]() Even I expected small dip in prices but what a surprise. The Manager on duty told me that we can expect another price revision in 10-14 days. And Government doesn't want to increase Diesel prices. ![]() Last edited by Captain Slow : 18th April 2011 at 17:12. | ||
