18 Cost of fuel gone up ? Don’t feel so bad !
Over the weekend, 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.500 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 150 ml Rs.175 =
Rs.1167 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.90,476 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 our
honorable Petroleum Minister — just be glad your car doesn’t run on cough syrup,
after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !
And for all you Scotch drinkers . . . the comparison cannot
be made.
— BE HAPPY . . . .
