Petrol price fluctuation and monitoring (India)

[Guest]

West Bengal has a sales tax rate of 25% on petrol and 17% on diesel.

petrol prices in kolkata will be 56 Rs/L.

Just the catalyst needed to push my latent wish to own a bicycle

Here in bangalore with current traffic situation I guess it would be faster too than a bike

No kidding ! I rode the entire ring road from yeswantpur - banaswadi- hsr - banshankari and it took me like 2 and half hours in total ! Plus considering that we're stuck in crawling traffic most of the fuel is wasted idling and edging along in 1st-2nd gear.

I still would prefer a combo of buses + walking in bangalore. I could ride from Bangalore to Pune in 15 hours but I cant tolerate more than 3 hours of city riding.

On top of the fuel is expensive so we might be paying practically like 75 rs a litre cause most of it is wasted ! Cost per km would be high in bangalore due to high taxes, traffic snarls, longer routes to a particular destination (thanks to tons of one way streets)

looks like Bajaj has made the right decision by bringing Discover 150 i can already see some prospective buyers for it.

well now the vajra buses in banglore is gonna have a rush. Now due to the fuel costs i have a very good reason to travel in buses. Even before this price hike also i used to prefer the buses( mostly vajra) to travel towards majestic. But i think that the buses fares would also increase.

I tried that already bro...Buses get really frustrating @ office hours.

Hence seriously thinking of a bicycle.

The Volvos here in bangalore are already freaking expensive. A 12.5kms * 2 journey(J P Nagar<>Ecospace) costs 60bucks ...Add to that the time it takes(~90-100mins one way)

you gotta be kidding. I travel from Jalahalli cross to majestic (15kms) & it costs me only Rs.15. Maybe you are traveling in those airport buses. But if it is that costly then you can take a Vajra gold daily bus pass for Rs.75 & can travel the whole day in vajra buses & any other buses excluding the airport buses & the interstate buses.

I dont think that the buses are frustating dude. It is much better than driving a car or a bus. You dont have a fear of police, accident, fines or the heat. You can just relax in the seat while the bus driver takes all these tension.

but Yeah i do accept your point that it can be frustating at office hours when we have the fear of getting late.

now the cost per km of bikes would be close to 1 rupees. I feel very sad when i see the money from my purse going into the hands of the petrol bunk attender.

yeah i came to know just now. I had went to majestic & the conductor charged me Rs.13 instead of Rs.11. When i had asked the conductor then he told me that the prices of all bus tickets have been hiked by 2 rupees.

Actually it had been a more than 1 & half month since i had travelled in bus so i didnt knew about the new fares.

What?.....How?...Why?.....
How can that be possible?

1 Brazilian Real(BRL)=26 INR.
Most of them in brazil use Gasolin or ethanol as fuel.

Because they are not dependent on other countries for natural fuel...They grow fuel in there farms...(ethanol...not kidding)
