                Petrol prices pinching wallet? How about an e-bike?

                With consumers bogged down by escalating fuel costs, electric vehicle makers are now planning on getting aggressive with their marketing and advertising spends, reports The Economic Times. For a long time, electric vehicle makers struggled to compete with gas guzzlers due to lack of sex appeal and power that comes with a petrol engine.


                With assembly lines lying dormant for almost two-years, electric bike manufacturers are hoping to attract customers who earlier shied away from these noiseless, smoke-free vehicles. In 2009-10, against 9 million petrol two-wheelers sold, mere 1 lakh electric bikes were purchased. With petrol prices having spiked 11% in one month, e-bike makers such as TVS Motors, Hero, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ajanta and Electrotherm (India) are getting ready to begin production again.

                            on 25 of feb i filled petrol from shell & then it was something around 66.XX

                            The shell is more consistent in increasing the fuel prices.

                              I just filled Extra premium @ 67.25 so the regular should be around 65.60 i guess. According to my friend, its going to shoot up very soon by Rs.2...
