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 â€" you'll be
surprised at how outrageous some other prices are ! !
Diesel (regular) : Rs.50.22 per litre
Petrol (speed) : Rs.68 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

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.)

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!
