it is hard fact that there is no substitute for oil becoz its very powerful single source of energy.Also the demand is coming out from developing countries faster than expected and declining/stagnation production in world so increase in cost. Problem lies in people mindset so increase in selling price or levy of surcharge on carowners who are tax payer will does not serve any purpose. we hav to bear this increase cost of oil but govt must deregulate the price of kerosene/lpg/petrol so that the general public understand its utility and use public transport becoz luxury cannot be buy at cheaper prices..
