If you are staying in Bangalore, and if you have a petrol/diesel consuming machine which runs on wheels, then you have faced this menace; in fact These Menaces!
1. Improper fuel refilling
2. Adulterated fuel
3. Fuel filled, but your fuel indicator is still where it was !
4. A drop in mileage. (you did not get the required quantity of fuel)

Welcome to Bangalore !

Customer satisfaction is a thing of the past..
Customers be alert, or you will be made a donkey of yourself

Here are a few observations which I have made over the past few years (3 years and 4 months, to be precise!)

Given below are a few "BLACK LIST-able" outlets:
1. BP, Advaith Pump, BTM
2. BP, opposite IBM, Bannerghatta road.
3. BP, near Eejipura, Inner Ring Road.
4. IBP, near Baskin Robbins, Kmgla 80ft road.
5. The pump near St Johns Hospital, Madiwala.
6. The Indian Oil (?) pump in BTM (roadside, on the left if you are going from BTM towards Jayadeva flyover)

For BP, there is an easy way to take action against the dealer:
Lodge a complaint at http://www.bpcl.co.in/general/gen_feedback.asp.
BPCL will cancel the dealership of the pump, if proven cheating.

There is a number which you can dial to report petrol related complaints : 9448102896
