Totally dumb of the author to compare the price of 1 L of Petrol with 1 L of Dettol Antiseptic or Old Spice or Kores Whiteout !! What is more important is the level of consumption of these items. While someone might consume 1 L of Petrol in a day, its highly unlikely that he'll consume more than 100 ml of Dettol in an entire year. Or a 15 ml Kores whiteout in a month. (Considering that the author is pea brained, he might be using more) So what sense does it make to compare 1 L of Petrol that costs Rs 53, that I might use on a daily basis with a 100 ml Old Spice that costs Rs 175 that I use once a month. The significance of Petrol price as a benchmark is that it has a ripple effect on the other stuff that we use (Petrol being input/fuel to various other consummables) Such comparisons are totally weird and misleading ! No wonder the author did not mention his name.
