I have heard good things about some pump in Koregaon Park, but that area is far off from my new place. Quote:
There is (an IOC?) pump near Gunjan theater. Any reviews on that one? Last edited by S_U_N : 15th March 2011 at 11:50. | ||

Below is conversation which happened: Attendend: how much to fill? Friend: 1000 Rs..Normal Petrol & opened the fuel flap. Attended: Started filling without showing zero in flip of second counter running in range of 400 .. this made my friend suspicious....he stopped it immediately and asked "When he shown zero"...this started altercations and finally he filled till 500 Rs. Paid and never went back there. Better fuel location for you will be KP. Twin bunk at the signal, I prefer the HP bunk there. Last edited by shabahmad : 15th March 2011 at 12:56. | |

Ditto - I too use this petrol pump regularly and havent faced any issues yet. The only issue I faced was the Citi POC was always down. I sent an email to Citi and this seems to be working now. But the response time is still slow. It takes 5 mins to make the transaction through a citi card. Since I would be moving to a new work place I need to find another good IO pump near Kalyani nagar. | |

| ![]() I hope the BP pump at koregaon park is good, cause i fill up exclusively there. I use to fill up at the HP pump but find the entry point inconvenient. One thing i wanted to post though a little off topic is the HP pump at the beginning of east street i.e diagonally opp silver jubilee. Have you realized that the entry for the pump is on the wrong side, have seen many bikers, rickshaws and even cars taking a wrong turn from George restaurant into the one way, just to fill up at this pump. had spoken to the attendant once telling him how wrong this is, but he didn't seem to care. Also many vehicles take a U turn to enter the pump which is another hazard and could cause an accident. Beware! Drive Safe! |

| ![]() Filled up at the newly opened IOC bunk in Hinjewadi. At 61.1 rupees a liter, seemed reasonably enticing for me to switch loyalties from Shell. The guy was courteous enough , asked me to check for Zero , told the rate etc . They do accept cards as well. Done about 50 Kilometers since the fill up , no noticeable difference (yet). They dont have an air pressure gauge though. Also, this discussion on petrol density seems a bit confusing to me. The Density at this particular pump was in the range of 450 while the discussion here suggests it should be in the seven hundreds. Or am I a bit -> ![]() |

| ![]() Koregaon Park is too far for me. I would prefer Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar instead. Any good bunks there atleast? |

I think I will continue filling from there, until Shell brings their prices down to realistic levels. | |

| ![]() I had filled up at shell near pimpri on my way back from the honda pimpri service station. And it was a pleasant experience. Firstly we were greeted by a namaste.then was asked whether i wanted regular or premium petrol. After opting for regular. Zero was confirmed not once but twice. Paid by credit card. And the bill came to us no short of a five star hotel style leather folder, with our copy and their copy neatly separated and stapled. So in the end our visit to the pump was no ordinary affair, and nothing short of our recent visit to the westin. To be noted : regular fuel here is approx 8 rupees more than standard petrol pumps.
