we all Indians have change our lifestyle 1)step down from your car /scooter/motorcycle and use cycle, public transport, walk 2) Govt should bring in legislation and stop people to own private disel cars. Disel should be subsidised for public transport Petrol should be at least Rs 100 Inprove public transport Should bring legislation to keep one sevnth car off the road each day by having only seven colour private vehicals imagin Delhi has more than 50 lakhs private transport if one seventh car goes off the road means7.5 lakhs car and if each of these car consumes 3 lt petrol every day which mean Delhi alone can save 22lakh lt of petrol in a day

It's a great idea to have only seven colour cars & one colour should be off on one day.
Good thinking Satish.Hopefully somebody will notice it.
1. If possible try Solar Cooker as much as possible. This can help you is recovering cost within 6-7 months and then help you in savings.
2. Get your car fitted with CNG/ LPG. If you are a daily user then you can expect the cost to be recovered with an years time.
3. use CFL in cutting your electricity bills (but practically speaking it help you in overcoming voltage fluctuation, and is as instant as a bulb. I am not convinced with cost/saving ratio.)

calculate your monthly requirement of various items of grocery and find a shop/wholeseller to buy stuff in bulk. This will one way of anit-inflation.
Get Medical Insurance done for the family. This will save your hard earned money from any unexpected expenses.
Try to buy from shops without bill and save on Sales tax.
Rather going for a movie with a family buy original CD/DVD and enjoy at home (generally costs 50-100 Rs)

Try to reduce use of AC in car as well as at home. This will save lot of money.
If looking for buying a new AC/ refrigator then by 5 star rated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Mr Prasanna has given us good ideas for savings but all ideas has exemptions or ALARM points. So this is no time to alrming, we should awake for the situation. The all ideas are related to personal movements but is anybody thinks about globally?
Why this will happen? Why crude prices are up? Why all world economies are at their down level?
Oil is epicentre nerve for the economy. Oil manufacturing countries are made the war like situtations globally.
They want to be rule the world and hence they use their main and only weapon(nuclear is not).
So we must alert and save fuels.
One point is also add in the list.
Take a good walk will keep u healthy, wealthy and obiously wise.
I felt guilty to use my car only for the travel convenience of one person keeping in mind the rising fuel charges, inflation and global warming. I've applied for the company transport now and i feel good about saving some energy, my money and getting rid of driving my car in traffic during peak hours.
Why not we through the another dispensable thing, i.e mobile phone ? We could save few hundred and also lot more time.Why not you suggest eating Raw items like vegtables and Fruits and completely avoid cooking.? There could be lot more Outrageous options to pursue..
