Don't complain about petrol prices


Don't complain about petrol prices



 

Today I filled up my fuel tank, and I thought petrol has become really expensive after the price hikes. But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.

To know why, see the results below you'll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are!

Price base -Mumbai Diesel (regular) : Rs.42.08 per litre


Petrol (regular unleaded) : Rs.79.51 per litre



1. Milk (mumbai) : Rs.55 per litre (costlier to Diesel)

 

2. Coca Cola 330 ml can: Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre



3. Cup of coffee at any decent restaurant

150 ml for Rs.25 = Rs. 167 per litre



4. Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre


5. Soup at a Restaurant 250 ml: Rs.55 = Rs.220 per litre

 

6. Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre


7. Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre


8. Medicinal mouthwash likeListerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs.450 per litre

9. Red Bull 150 ml can: Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre

 

10. Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs.570 per liter

11. Evian water 500 ml Rs.330 = Rs.660 per litre [Rs.660 for a liter of WATER?! And the buyers
don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)]

12. Kores white-out 15 ml Rs.15 = Rs.1000 per liter

13. Old Spice after shave lotion
100 ml Rs.175 = Rs. 1750 per liter

14. Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs.68 = Rs. 2720 per liter

And this is the REAL KICKER...


HP desk-jet colors ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per liter!!!

Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? So they have you hooked for the ink!

The next time you're at the pump, don't curse our Petroleum minister just be glad your car doesn't run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, Pantene conditioner or God forbid, printer ink!

 

You can find peace in all your problems. I found one in Petrol pricing.
