Don't complain only about petrol prices!

Don't complain only about petrol prices

Today I filled up my fuel tank,and I thought petrol has become really expensive after the price hikes. 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!

Price base -Mumbai Diesel (regular) : Rs.42.08 per litre
Petrol (regular unleaded) : Rs.79.51 per litre

Milk (mumbai) : Rs.55 per litre (costlier to Diesel)
Coca Cola 330 ml can: Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre

Cup of coffee at any decent restaurant
150 ml for Rs.25 = Rs. 167 per litre
Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre
Soup at a Restaurant 250 ml: Rs.55 = Rs.220 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 white-out 15 ml Rs.15 = Rs.1000 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 desk-jet 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!

The next time you're at the pump, don't curse our Petroleum minister just be glad your car doesn't run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, Pantene conditioner or God forbid, printer ink!
You can find peace in all your problems.
I found one in Petrol pricing.
