Yeah! Damn this government...! Black money, CWG Scandals, and what not!! We have either of the 2 hopes only:-->Originally posted by yamahatrooper View PostDamn this Government!
1. That UK based company which was making some petrol alternative, costing some 14/ litre or so...
2. Ramdev baba as our PM ...
But seriously, we have not much of a hope except these 2 choices? or have we?---

The petrol PSUs were delaying increasing the prices since a few days now, in anticipation of a deduciton of excise duty on import of crude and petrol/diesel in this years budget.
Well the budget came n went and there is no decrease in the excise duty. The last revision of petrol prices were done when crude was at $92 per barrel. Right now its hovering at $112 per barrel. So there is bound to be a substantial hike !! Brace yourself !!
BTW, if its some solace, the prices have increased in US as well. All by 7 cents!!

yup, 2-4 rs hike in petrol, 25-50 for cooking gas, diesel ???
sometimes i wish i had bought a Taurus !
getting petrol/diesel/LPG/Kerosene to the consumer doesnt cost a bomb, but since it`s a highly import dependent commodity the govt looses a lot of the foreign exchange on it, which causes trade deficit and then the govt has to borrow/ buy foreign exchange which devalues the rupee.Plus subsidizing diesel and kerosene the oil companies loose money which the govt partly repays them. so they tax the selling commodity to make up the losses.
ps: i may be wrong, please correct if so.

Its impossible to ride a Taurus....
Man its impossible to ride a Taurus in a city like Rajkot as they cant pass the RTO test, are not being registered b'coz of pollution norms, or cant get PUC certification. Even chakkra riders have shun them and moved on to "TOOFAN" in city which produces largest no of diesel engines in Asia!When in doubt...... Gas it!

oh great thought thereOriginally posted by shrinathrao View PostThe price hike is justified as oil companies are bleeding, but I feel when the government takes taxes from us, increases petrol rates which we pay, but the only thing which hurts us is our hard earned money goes into this politicians pocket and they make a merry out of those scandals, where the government can give good roads where we need less gear shifting and get more mileage, good water, cheaper houses for people in middle class, good supply of water and conserve greenery instead of selling the green lands to greedy builders.sigpicmy bike is my sign

So the petrol hike is soon on the cards as suspected
Get ready for fuel bill hike, petrol prices to go up by Rs 2 to Rs 4 - The Times of India
Your fuel bill is set to go up shortly, in all likelihood, after Parliament session on April 18. But price of petrol, which is not controlled by the government, could go up sooner than that.
Oil marketers could raise petrol price by Rs 2 to Rs 4 since they are losing Rs 2.25 on each litre. The government could then raise diesel price by Rs 2 a litre and that of cooking gas cylinder by Rs 25-50, sending inflation into a spin

Hi All,
In the month of FEB there was a mail flying everywhere.
Few of you might have got this
Can we do something like that through XBHP?
Mail goes like this
"Dear Friends!
Petrol in Pakistan Rs17 per litr
Malaysia Rs 18 per litr
In India it's Rs.65per litr
Why is there a difference within India itself? World Market CRUDE Oil is not
the reason for this. It's all Gain for private owners? As we are the
general public, or Common Man as R.K.Laxman wud hv said, we have to
raise our voice, let's raise thru Emails.
Forward this to all Indians who care.
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF
PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD
CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.
THEREFORE "
Feb.14 th" HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH " DAY
AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD
NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS
MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD
OUT. WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL
IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP BUT
AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,
TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH AFFECTS
PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING,
BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE
DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE
DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE
WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR
CALENDARS AND MAKE* *
*Feb.* 14 th
A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS SAY
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
We forward so many junk email to many of our friends, now let us do
it for some useful cause to cut down the price of the petrol .. ....
