Why are people crying over Rs 55/liter petrol...
by imran patel on Jul 07, 2008 10:36 PM

Shop acting like fools...

Crude oil is trading at 145USD per barrel. lets do some math...

One Barrel = 158.98 Liters

hence one liter of crude oil will cost

= 145/158.98 * 43.18
= 39.38
~ Rs 40.

That is crude oil at the location it is drilled. Add refining cost, distribution cost and some profit.

Rs. 55 /liter is what the world is paying.

Get over it.
