AFAIK Deregularization is not yet implemented completely. What if Centre moved away from the issue?
A big amount from this price still goes to the state governments!

Correct me if I'm wrong though...

Not a big amount but yes a pretty decent one.. VAT and Octroi...

Most of the time(or read never) this thing not happen because, there are 2 ready statement.

Statement 1 :-
OIL companies claim they score huge loss earlier by selling Petrol,so this is the only time when the actually see the profit......

..........and if still anyone argue,

Statement 2 :-
OIL companies claim, everyday they loosing money by selling subsidize Dissel, Gas cylinder & kerosene....petrol is the only fuel they can gain their market survival profit.So the International price drop can't be passable to the End users pocket.

So de-regularize Petrol price only go north,never go south in here.

So the government should understand that their method is pathetically flawed...

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seemed unmoved by the rising clamour against the fuel hike. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the G-20 deliberations in Cannes, he said, "We must move in the direction of decontrolling more prices. I have no hesitation in saying markets must find their own levels."

this is what our "Honorable" Prime Minister told in a press conference after which i don't think that there's any scope in which we gonna get petrol at cheaper rates..though several parties are now pressurizing congress regarding this issue.

Petrol price reducing by 2 f'in Rupees!!!!

Petrol price may be cut by Rs 2 a litre on Nov 17 - The Times of India

OT: Did anyone else feel that due to increased prices, petrol sales suffered leading to too much stock + less adulteration + better FE?

Whatever it is.... my bike did feel the effect as its FE rose by as much as 30% without me getting it serviced or anything.

Instead levying vat and sales tax on petrol.. charge the same on high-end 4 wheelers & SUVs, buyers will buy vehicles, but the common man will be spared from the regular burden of VAT and ST on petrol.

[Satyamzma]

yes ..tax should be increased on 4 wheeler and specially on Suv's like Fortuner,Endever & Land Cruisers

Even I got the same WHOOPING figure on my 220 (Actually 55 )!!! I am still shocked (yet to hit reserve. Bike has already done 150+ in 2.69 liters Worth Rs.200) The last time I did 150km in 200 worth of petrol was when Petrol was priced around 60

are you sure?? cz mine does 250 kms in 6.7 liters..and its a 180 Pulsar.

In 200 rs fuel for my bike it would hardly 60-70kms...

Checking all this by reserve to reserve method...

70km in 200 petrol is waaay too low! (26ish kmpl )

3 step procedure to raise FE.
1. CHANGE engine oil AND Air Filter (No cleaning.. only changing) AND Lube the chain.
2. Switch to a better fuel bunk.
3. Slap yourself and ride sanely*.

I was also checking by reserve to reserve method. Filling Rs.200 worth petrol every time. The last few calculations have been:
44 : BPCL RTO Pune
43.5 : BPCL Wakdewdi CoCo
46.2 : BPCL RTO Pune
*Fuel Price hiked*
48.2 : BPCL Wakdewadi CoCo
55.x : HPCL opposite Agri College

* - sanely <> slow

Sanely- hehehehe,
Ya i agree with you dude..mostly on the Nh4 so throttle is wide open..

Yes i use synthetic oil for the bike (4000kms change), also have changed the filter on the last service, chain lubing is done on every sat regardless of kms run in the week.

About bunker, i refill at that shell pump which is there near warje on the hway. All the ones you mentioned are off route and the other side which i hardly visit...Yes dude the pinch is too high when it delivers like 25-35kmpl average especially in today's time..

Lets see now how the average goes.

Sanely - 45kmph????
