The step has been opposite on me. I have started not to bother about fuel bills and next step is i am getting a bigger bike within a few days.

well its good to see this kind of a post where as for me I live in Paradise. Allahabad its a small town hardly any distance I stay in the heart of the city i.e civil lines. So My riding per day must be around 5km. or may be 10km as we dont have much places to ride here. Well my average of my bike is 43-45 pulsar 180ug4 in city only and monthly exp. on petrol is 10ltrs. only thats it.. hahaha laugh I dont go beyond 40 speed @ 3000rpm

Well, I've started to ride more sanely. Even when I'm late for work (which happens to be quite often). Don't exceed 60k/hr on my P180 usually. But thats quite hard if you live in Delhi and have open roads as part of your journey.
Also, I take the car - a diesel!!! - to meet my gf 40kms away in Greater Noida. It actually comes down to almost the same price of fuel! Plus I have air conditioning and a set of JBL speakers thumping away to my will
I plan to cycle down to the bus stop and take the AC buses to work after I get a cycle. key phrase: PLAN TO.

Man I hope oil prices come down soon. It's hovering around $98 a barrel right now.

It doesnt matter. I always fill up for Rs.500 whenever the fuel gets low in my vehicles.

Thumbs up Keep It Simple Silly...

Scooters???...no way...otherwise would have bought one already...since we all know price may not fall back now..even if it does it will be marginal...so rather decide on priorities...I have to travel 40+ kms daily...so how I manage??
less spending on GF/Wife & dining....change job....do one onsite trip a year if you are in IT....work from home...I'm doing it already...& importantly drive within the limits...It works for me...

well
m thinkin f drivin steadily..less sudden acceleration...more uncle like driving..very difficult..it may improve mileage..

100 will be done by 2013 end....:P
I must admit that Bangalore roads are indeed worse, may be the local municipality (BBMP) has some tie-ups with Suspension Manufacturers

I guess this is what they call Public-Private partnership

That's amazing , I love this kind of noble policies by companies.
I wish government allots petrol in the ration card at a discounted price atleast just like Rice sugar etc

Does anybody have info on any petro cards available here in Bangalore? I mean if there is any exciting offer?

No changes here. Earlier I was getting fuel worth 500 and I'm still getting the tank filled with 500 INR/-

The only thing is, I've stopped looking the the quantity and now only look at the price on the meter.
