What are the petrol prices in Auckland? I am sure you don't have amazing heat, dust and grime and weather conditions in New Zealand like you do in India. The option to cycle to work is good in Europe or US or New Zealand not India.

I travel 40Km each day (20km to go to work and 20km to come back home) cycling wouldn't be feasible for me and for that matter a lot of people in India.
 
Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.

Petrol is equally expensive here a litre costs $2.10( 1NZD=38INR),talking about the weather in NZ its unpredictable.It can rain or shine any time, winter temperatures drop to 1 degree and in summer its about 30 degrees .One might think 30 is way to less compare to India but its not because it gets very humid and UV levels get high ,NZ doesn't have ozone layer. Cycling is not practical even here because of the restrictions.There is no way u can cycle from suburbs to city as some roads are not for cyclists. Coming to car maintenance its mighty expensive .The car has to be fit for road ,this check has to be done every 3 months which costs $100 then there is registration charges which is $30 per month.Taxes are way too high 30% flat of what u earn goes to government then there is GST which is flat 15% on what ever you buy.

Why do you need someone else to stand up for you? Why not do it yourself? This parasitic behaviour in most of us is what has resulted in the 'system' that we today complain, but do nothing about

Travel ~40 kms (both ways) --- as it, is pure PITA to navigate on MG road now with petrol prices. :(

Yea but I'm sure the average income in NZ would be more as compared to in India which makes fuel there more affordable, isn't it?

Not sure if it will happen. Gov. is not to happy about that.
 
Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.

Aren't the oil companies free to increase it anytime?? I think our government will lastly approve the hike. What else...

Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.

They just want to make a point: Don't drink and drive!

with current prices on booze and petrol... one would want to either drink or drive.
 
Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.

Our travelling allowance should increase with every increase in fuel rates.. But it is the same from years :S

He has posted that link just to show that oil companies are the one who can hike the fuel prices and the government is not in control of it. :)

Price increase will happen before 15th by HPCL and hence others too will rush for same.

Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.

Here in Mumbai we had a rise in CNG prices too earlier. Now auto guys are demanding a increase in fares.

I guess 2012 is closing up on us. With increase in HDD prices, poor USD INR exchange......now petrol prices going to be increased....:facepalm:

The government is a majority shareholder in all the public sector oil companies so its still the government's decision.

Shell etc. are free to change prices on their own accord.

That is why they face the brunt/backlash when ever prices are jacked.
