Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Evaporation will constantly happen even when the tank is closed. The lid will not be airtight, else the fuel will not flow! Actually the opposite is true. The more fuel you have in the tank, the less space for air inside, therefore less evaporation loss! I always top-up fuel at the half tank mark. |

| ![]() In more ways than one. Their dealers are worse. The rip off starts with the crude import till the dealer dispenses. The difference my friend is in the metering. A dealer friend once confided - the choice is between short metering and shameless adulteration. Some dealers do both. Actually the rot starts from the refining stage, if we ignore the purchase of crude. One BIG rip off. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Filled Super at 73.95 yesterday at Hinjewadi. The attendant confirmed there has been a 50p hike (the website above lists it as 73.50 even now). There is a limited period offer to win a Ferrari model car if you tank up fully before 31st Oct. They took my name and number and put it in a box and swore that I would get a car! Let's see...! |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() A bit OT here. I had gone to Shell yesterday and proceeded to the air-check point after filling petrol. Got down from the car (as is my practice while filling air) and absentmindedly locked the car with the key inside. ![]() A line was already forming behind my car. I apologized to them, went and appraised the manager about the problem. As no mechanic shops will be open (it was 8.00 AM), told him I will go home by auto and fetch the spare key. Voluntarily and without hesitation he immediately started his brand new FZ and took me to my home. We were back at the station with the spare key within 15 minutes! He did not bat an eyelid and never lost his smile all the while. ![]() Last edited by Gansan : 31st October 2011 at 12:48. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Shell has quitely increased the price from 74.78 to 75 silently. Now considering that the oil companies are losing about 1.82 rupees per litres how come Shell increased it by 22 paise only? Another scam in the making for the sake of Congress and by congress. |

I think Shell cannot have a huge gap else they will start losing business and hence try to keep it the gap as little as possible. Once PSU hikes, the 75 will also go up ! | |

I got a a refill without asking the price and was shocked to see a 6 buck difference per litre. Thankfully, I got only 10 litres that day ![]() Only petrol is worth it from these guys. | |

Another point to note, the loss, as claimed by the PSUs are only on the books and notional. The tax, the end user pays on the fuel offsets the 'so-called' subsidy is not less than 10:1 ratio. So, ideally its lower profits for the Govt., and not exactly a loss for the PSU ;-) | |
