Fuel prices

This is Eye-opening and Hillarious and so a must read! Hence I have put it here rather than my diary.


I recieved this as a mail and thought it will be useful to all!


Have fun!


Cheers!

Hi Everybody, 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. 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 our honorable Petroleum minister – just be glad your car doesn’t run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink.


Start Investing now! Things are expensive and your income needs to keep way ahead of your expenses:)
