We have to forward this to people outside this forum too, to get maximum impact.......

Although, I wish to help, but what will this result in?

If you don't buy petrol on 14 march, you'll have to buy it on 15th march or few days after. Because, that's what our machines run on. Do we have a choice?

And, how's a 1 day sales drop going to affect companies/government/anyone if the next few days see more sales?

People are anyways aware of such a basic need getting costlier. But anyways, I'll forward the mail and sms'es too.

And which date are we are decided about? 14 March or 14th of every month?

One more thing. Pakistan's rate is not 17 rupees as claimed by the e-mail... Check this link below:-->

Petrol Price in Pakistan Today | Petrol Rate in Pakistan | Pakistan Petrol Cost

But it is better than India, even at 35 INR in Pakistan.
In Malaysia, it is some 36 INR for 97 Octane.

i'm up for any date. or even an entire week.

[yamahatrooper]

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?

Hehehehe Samarth.. I think your second choice is the way to go! Ramdev Baba for PM! Brilliant Idea that! or this is another option Ramar fuel

We always keep comparing our petrol prices to that of Pakistans... There are many factors to this... They do not import as much oil as we do... The number of cars there are much lesser they consume a hell lot of less fuel than we do... Also the forex they spend on importing oil is returned via the tons of grants they recieve from the USA... We dont get any such grants... We pay for every drop of oil we import... And to try and reduce the trade deficit while continuosly losing forex and giving subsidies is not a joke... On the other hand Pakistan isnt bothered about its trade deficits.. It gets the grants...

Just comparing Petrol Prices of different countries do not give the complete picture. Compare the Diesel, Kerosene and LPG prices of those countries with India to get the complete picture.

In India the prices of Diesel, Kerosene and LPG is subsidized so that the "vote bank/aam aadmi" remains happy. So therefore prices of petrol is taking the brunt.


Read This (Article Published in August 2009): Kerosene, LPG prices lowest in India

Kerosene and domestic LPG prices in India are the lowest in South Asia, while the rates for petrol and diesel are comparable with its neighbours, Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said on Thursday.

In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, he said kerosene at Rs 9.22 per litre in Delhi is the cheapest cooking fuel in South Asia.

Kerosene in Pakistan costs Rs 34.89 a litre, Rs 30.53 in Bangladesh, Rs 21.26 in Sri Lanka and Rs 34.35 per litre in Nepal.

Similarly, a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi priced at Rs 281.20 is cheaper than Rs 483.06 in Pakistan, Rs 670.12 in Bangladesh, Rs 666.31 in Sri Lanka and Rs 702.72 per cylinder rate in Nepal, he said.

Petrol at Rs 44.63 in Delhi is costlier than Rs 36.52 a litre price in Pakistan but cheaper than Rs 51.36 a litre price in Bangladesh, Rs 54.19 in Sri Lanka and Rs 34.35 a litre in Nepal.

Deisel at Rs 32.87 per litre in Delhi was a shade higher than Rs 30.53 rate in Bangladesh and Rs 30.43 a litre price in Sri Lanka. But it was cheaper than Rs 36.82 a litre price in Pakistan and Rs 34.35 per litre rate in Nepal, he said.

Hum..... maybe we should just move to pakistan......
