Beyond description.... And there really isn't any "highway" driving in India, it's all city driving. Imagine people walking, bicycles, animal pulled carts, auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuk), trucks, buses, and modern cars ALL on the SAME road, and as mentioned above, NO lane discipline at all.

That said, I think I would drive in India before i tried to drive in Korea.

The Taj Mahal is the most amazing man-made thing I have ever seen in my life, and it's ALMOST worth going to India to see it. :)

I've heard Bangkok is pretty bad, but from people who have been to both, they say India is in a whole different league

You're getting some nice low figures on 98 octane. :)

Anyone lives in Canada? Anyone know which station has 98 RON gasoline? I want to give it a try....

Edit: I live in Vancouver, BC. It seems like Shell only carries V Power at 91. (Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that equates to 95 RON, not 98.)

Your latest tank 3 figure is excellent, did you use cruise control at all?
