Hello bhpians. Need some inputs here. Please contribute some details about good, genuine petrol pumps in Kolkata. Here's a few from my side(Both are in salt Lake):

1) Block-DD, Salt Lake, Opposite City Centre. Beside Jubilee House. I have heard very good things about this pump.

2) Block-IA, Salt Lake, Opposite Salt Lake Stadium and Mukesh Hyundai Advantage Point. Beside Momo Hut.

So people from Kolkata please pour in some information for the convenience of calcuttans,

For many years, I stuck to using the COCO HP pump at the crossing of Theatre Road and Lower Circular Road (as the roads were called then). The last time I filled from them (a year ago), the quality was good but I suppose I went at the wrong time, so the queue was interminable.

[toiingg]

Teen Murti Petrol Pump. (Club HP i think) at Theater Road + AJC Bose Road crossing.

Club HP again at Park Street, next to the post office.

HP 'company outlet' beside Millennium City at Sector V. Small place but seems to be good. I don't think they stock Power. Have used normal unleaded from them for 2+ years. No issues.

[avishar]

Have always filled up from the small petrol pump beside arsalan just near the start/end of the AJC flyover.

Another from Salt Lake:
HP Bunk at Tank No.9 Salt Lake

I am a regular there, seems Ok, no problems yet. I am a biker.

[blackasta]

I used to fill up from Giani Service station on Jessore Rd, near Bankra. Didn't face any problem regarding shortchanging etc. Used both cash/card.

[aroop]

My experience has also been good at these:
Council service station (HP), Alipore (before majerhat bridge if coming from north)
Friends auto -HP (BT road, sinthee more)

Somehow I felt the BP petrol pump near the wipro flyover isnt good (I got lower mileage long back, stopped since then) anyone had a similar experience?

I always had a penchant for HP rather than IOCL or BP, the car 'drives' better.

[anish9000]

I regularly use the petrol pump near drive inn snack bar in alipore. No problems till date. Plus one of the few pumps which stock 97 octane.

[Sudipto-S-Team]

I do not really know how one judges the quality of petrol or the pump. Is it from the look and feel? Or is it from some particular experience? I used to take petrol from Engineers on Gurusaday Road for several years. But once I changed to India Trading at the crossing of Lee Road and AJC Bose Road there is a 10-15 per cent improvement in my fuel efficiency. This leads me to believe that there is some quantitative difference between the two ;-) I do not take from Engineers any more, though I must say they look and feel much more professional than any other pump I have dealt with in Calcutta.

[travelwriter]

THe BP bunk at Ruby Hospital crossing. That is the only place I fill up after having tried quite a few.

And yes, the outlet near Wipro in Salt Lake does not serve good quality fuel

[shuvd]

IOC Gurusomething Road.
IOC opposite City Centre.
BP Camac Street.

[planet_rocker]

I always fill from IOC Petrol Pump, Gurusaday Road

Generally donot require to go to other pumps since monthly commute is quite less.

Another one I would recommend: IOC in Kasba, on Ruby Connector (opposite Siemens).

I would NOT recommend:
- The pump at Ruby crossing (it's either HP or BP, that has a Subway attached). Poor service, fuel quality is suspect
- The pump between DLF and Home Town in Rajarhat

The IOC at Bosepukur, Kasba connector - on the left hand side while coming from Gariahat - just after the Kasba Police Station.
Till around 2008 this used to be a COCO (the bill said so), till Jan this year the bills I have reads "PaulMech Infrastructure", but the last bill, if I remember correctly, reads "Bypass Services". I am confused about who owns this pump.

However I am a regular at the DD Block IOC, and occassionally go to the IOC at Bosepukur. Comparatively I find the Bosepukur fuel giving me higher FE.

I absolutely agree on the Rajarhat pump. They are a bunch of thieves. Apart from fuel quantity they also mess up tyre repairs. My colleague recently got ripped off when he had a puncture in New Town and went to this pump for repairs. They literally destroyed his tubeless by punching new holes alongside the existing puncture .
