        Yeah! Damn this government...! Black money, CWG Scandals, and what not!! We have either of the 2 hopes only:-->

        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!

                        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

                              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

                              AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS
