Petrol is really cheap





I filled up my car's fuel tank, and I thought fuel has

become really expensive after the recent price hike.



But then I compared it with other common liquids and did

some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.



To know why, see the results below - you'll be

surprised at how outrageous some other prices are! !



Diesel (regular) in Mumbai: Rs.36.08 per litre



Petrol (speed) in Mumbai: Rs.52 per litre



Coca Cola 330 ml can: Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre



Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre



Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre



Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre



Medicinal Mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450

per litre



Red Bull 150 ml can: Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre



Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre



Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre



Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER!!



And the buyers don't even know the source (Evian

spelled backwards is Naive.)



Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre



Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 100 ml Rs. 50 =

Rs. 500 per litre



Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per

litre



Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre



And this is the REAL KICKER ...



HP DeskJet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476

per litre!!!



Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? So they

have you hooked for the ink!



So, the next time you're at the pump, don't curse

anyone - just be glad your car doesn't run on cough

syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink!
