This is gonna go on and on... No point being unhappy.

When I purchased my bike in 2007, petrol was 48 Rs/Lt now it is 68 Rs/Lt. Agreed that it pinches. But this is the future...

Petrol prices cannot go southwards... It is not like tech gadgets... unfortunately.

I believe that in the next year or 2 (max), Petrol prices would cross 100 Rs/Lt. :(

i think there is an option to get a diesel bullet :P. Seen them in auto magazines. Donno how many might have been sold though.
 
Reason for the steep hike is petrol is de-control and diesel,kerosene and Lpg aren't.

Now as you people might remembered Oil prices touched 147$ per barrel 2-3 years back but still petrol price weren't hike and it was around 45-48 Rs now its
118$ and they have increased it up-to 69 in Mumbai.SO why such tight control that time and not now.

Reason is Its the LPG,kerosene and Diesel whose intake have increased alot.As many are aware fuel costing much many of them jump for diesel cars.And also even an increase of rs 2 on diesel will bring strike in many states.So no way government wants to increase its price or decontrol it.

So whats better just screw the petrol guy.They dont have time to go for strike or they are too sophisticated to go legal way to make their point and after all law is in our hand.

In short we are paying price of people who use the other three and day by day its consumption increasing.

How to get through::

1::Convert to CNG.I know 30-50k will be the cost but within a 3 years now youll make out of it if you are long distance travel guy.

2::In future go for diesel or other variant vehicle and not petrol.

3::Be a politician and you too become a part of enjoying freebies.
 
I like the no 3 ,i will contest in local elections some how win and leech every one :P .Its 71.63 is Bangalore :@, time to shred some weight by walking to work place.

When i got my first bike fuel was 32 and odd now with that money i cant even get half a liter of fuel :(

I think some of the money can be balanced from the Diesel users by simply charging a heavy tax upfront during registration of Diesel cars and SUVs. It just doesn't feel right when the subsidized diesel which is meant to benefit public transport, freight etc. are used by luxury Diesel cars and the poor petrol small car guy pays for compensating for this too.

they should hike prices of road tax on new cars instead. or go a step further and make cars out of reach of middle class people like before maruti came. should be enough to control influx of vehicles and emission and consumption of petrol.

Simple question is how many cars register in a day is it 10000?No.Now even say its 10000 and all diesel and say one time charge of 10000 applied on them.Than even in a year government gets is something around 3600 crore rupees and the loss via all this is much more than 8000 crore a month.

And they say in a year it goes upto 1 lakh crore.Really dont trust those figures .

But that wont help.

As suggested one should go away from petrol and stick to natural gas or even diesel.

ANyone waiting for a bicycle thread now .

10k is way too low a one time charge we're talking about here. It should be close to a Lac or more, depending on the class of the vehicle. Don't know how many vehicles get sold per day and how many of them are diesels.

The point here is not to entirely make the diesel users pay up for the losses of petroleum companies, but to reduce those losses and also to make a level playing field when it comes to saving money on subsidized diesel by diesel car owners, which is not meant for them. This will also reduce a little bit of burden on petrol users, who're now alone paying up for the losses to help keep other fuels subsidized.

AFAIK, Diesel takes a little more money to be manufactured than petrol, so roughly the upfront amount charged should be somewhat equivalent to the average potential savings of the lifetime of the car using subsidized diesel as against diesel at market rates.

Instead of diesel its kerosene and LPG which costs the maximum damage.

Government now should come out with limited subsidised lpg containers and replace kerosene latterns with mini-5kg lpg one.

Anyways already diesel cars are expensive a lakh rupees some reason for that is same we discussing.Its the freebie which our passed on our money to ppl of election like 2 rs kg rice,color tv etc.

And when the supreme court fines the representative it again goes from our pocket(vilasrao deshmukh case fine of 10 lakh rupees).
 
watching star news now, Pranab babu says, "Government can not do anything over petrol prices."

right now they are concentrating on JAYA, MAYA & MAMTA, these TRIO once haunted the BJP Led Government, Atalji had nightmares :p
