I purchased at 6:50 per litre in 1982. I know this comparison is not worth.. because, the population of that place itself has grown from 50000 to 5 lakhs... demand for food supplies has also gone up. But comparatively, the rate of population growth hasnt come down.
Are you guys ready to give up private vehicles, and take on Public transport? Are you guys ready to control birth? Are you guys ready to give up eating pizzas and burgers?
Then why to crib about petrol?
Thank yourself.. that its because of the govt you have elected.

When I bought my brand new Hero Honda CD100 in September 1986, I paid Rs.14/- for two lit petrol of its first filling, and I paid 16500/- for the brand new vehicle.

I guess that's illegal business to do. Hoarding of petrol is dangerous and illegal, I guess.
I paid Rs00.85(eighty five paise ) per litre in 1971 at Bombay where I had my first job(from 1968) as an engineer in a pvt factory and purchsed a Rajdoot motor cycle after taking a loan of Rs 4000/from my employer.The cost of bike then including registration and insurance was Rs4310/.My monthly bill used to be around Rs18/I still have those bills and reciepts with me.The first hike was to Rs 1:25 then rs3.50 etc etc.,
When I purchased my TVS Suzuki in 1989 the cost of 1 litre petrol was just Rs.9. I used to pay Rs.100/- and fill my tank. But from a few years from now I am sure I may have to pay the same Rs.100 for just 1 litre of petrol.

I heard in bangalore people used to buy sites for Rs 100 in 1970 near Jayanagar. And now ?
Petrol in Pakistan Rs17 per litr Malaysia Rs 18 per litr In India it's 48 per litr
Why this difference in Asia itself? World Market CRUDE Oil is not the reason for this. It's all Gain for private owners? As we are the general public, or Common Man as R.K.Laxman wud hv said, we have to raise our voice, let's raise thru Emails.
Forward this to all Indians who care. IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES. THEREFORE "TUESDAY jan 22nd" HAS BEEN DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND" DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT. WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH AFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING,BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WH
