Let's just say it's difficult to tell. You can only know when the car shows the signs. So maybe the best bet now is to demand for receipts whenever you buy fuel, in case you want to launch claim later.

It's a big suprise that even multinationals cannot regularly inspect what their dealers are selling! What the hell does the name mean? It's just a bloody name if you don't have internal mechanisms to guarantee quality. Franchise restaurants for example go to great lengths to guarantee that if you eat something at location A it tastes EXACTLY THE SAME is the one you ate in location B! This involves ensuring uniformity in sourcing of ingredients, mixing ratios, preparation process, cooking duration and temperature etc. JAVA for example even have a person/team who decides the music to be played everyday! The music is pre-selected and compiled the sent to each of the outlets. That is how multinationals, franchises etc. should operate. The name only should tell me exactly what I'm getting my self into. And your INTERNAL MECHANISMS should guarantee this will always be the case!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Total and oilibia stations have never appeared on that list. They monitor all the distribution and retail.
My advice wachana na hizo mapeni kidogo unawachiwa kwa litre

I have seen a big difference fueling at Shell vs the others with performance per liter. And here I had identified Shell Adams as my new potential supplier. That idea is now dead in the water! Shell Junction it is... Form is temporary, class is permanent

That idea is now dead in the water! Shell Junction it is... Me too. I always seem to get more mileage per litre when I fuel at Shell. I prefer Shell Mp-Shah and the Shell opposite Oil Libya/The Mall in Westlands.

At this rate it's all of them. I went to Total Uthiru some time back and the guys steal from you blind. They do not clear the pump and if you are fueling an amount similar to that displaying on the pump, they just put the thing in your tank (ha... that sounds bad). One idiot tried to play me there but I had seen that the pump was reading 500 so he just topped up and I laughed until he was embarrassed and added the rest. I called Total HQ to complain and there was nothing they could do. It was beyond them, so I stopped fueling at Total.
BBI will solve it :)

That idea is now dead in the water! Shell Junction it is... Me too. I always seem to get more mileage per litre when I fuel at Shell. I prefer Shell Mp-Shah and the Shell opposite Oil Libya/The Mall in Westlands. From my experience, there is absolutely no difference in mileage when I fuel at shell Hurligham vs Total hurligham. I think this fuel save business is just a gimmick. I have filled at both stations to full tank and ran till empty then refilled and calculated total litre used vs the distance covered and the figures are the same. Anothe proof is that at half tank, I am at 450km with either fuel source. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G.

Happened to me. The vehicle just stopped around kangemi( was headed for ssome wedding in nyahururu). Little did i know it was a big problem. When i got hold of my mech, i was told that discs/plates had been badly damaged, so the engine had a slight knock. Damage? i had two options: 1. Replace the discs/plates at a cost of around 55k. 2. Replace the entire engine( NZE) at a cost of 65k. went for the latter. On the stations to avoid, Kenol on Rabai road( between Uhuru Junction and Buru Ph. 1. "Fuelled" air , i noted after a distance of like 500m, went back, told them but denied blatantly. Went back on a different day, caught the attendant red handed. Blasted him, had the car fuelled, and never went back. "The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions" - Alfred adler

People avoid Total Mbagathi way near T-Mall, Total Uthiru, Shell gikomba their fuel is crap. Also avoid Total Hamza they sold me second hand oil for my truck. Bad fuel will either destroy your engine or plugs and for diseal nozzles.
