whoa! that hulk of a SUV is actually giving you 11.5 with 100% AC?!! sounds good... or is it that you drive with a very light foot on the highways?

I use a 1998 safari diesel and have always filled fuel from the HP outlet on the Aurobindo Marg just after the Indian Oil Building near Yusuf sarai, Delhi. And I always use Turbijet. My vehicle's performance and FE have been exemplary..11.5 kmpl with 100% Ac on highways.

Sir, presently am in Mumbai after having driven over 2.5 days from Gurgaon. I am not a lightfooter. Average speed has been 100 Kmph. Have hit 120 on many stretches especially the Express Highway between Jaipur-Kishegarh, Ahmedabad & Baroda etc.. The Udaipur - Ahmedabad road is excellant, meandering through hills and I was doing 80-90 as it had lot of curves & gradient..:-)

i swear by power !! didnt make much difference in FE in my zen mpfi but felt much smoother and responsive !! haven't tried anything else on my swift!! tried it on my ikon 1.6 too with the same results!!

I have recently started fuelling up with Speed 97 (93 Octane) and the difference is amazing. The acceleration is so so smooth and the pick-up is great. Engine is smoother and more silent / responsive. FE seems better but not sure though as its only been the second fill up. I definately recommend it.

Switched to Power from XtraPremium after reading this thread - just to check it out. Frankly I haven't felt any difference ; neither is there any perceptible change in kmpl figures.
But I'll keep using it for a while since it's 40paise cheaper

Isnt all fuel sold in metros atleast 91 octane?
I think this was requirement for E-III engines.

i sure did feel teh difference. I was using regular petrol for my Avenger and could feel teh engines rash onmy way to mysore. I later fed it with Power and teh engine was damn smooth. I used to use Xtrapremium and now I need to check it again to see if it canprovide this smooothness

As far as possible fuel should be filled from the same station always after identifying a good pump; preferably a company owned joint. This largely eliminated the adulteration & calibration issues.

I always fill Turbojet in my brutes from the same pump (HP pump on the Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi, just before Hauz Khas area starts) and have been doing for the last several years without any issues. And YES, turbojet works the best for diesels...
