PRICE HIKE !!!!......??

[Pradeep Teli]

I thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike.
But when 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) : Rs.36.08 per liter

Petrol (speed) : Rs.52 per liter

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

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

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

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

Medicinal mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per liter

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

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

Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per liter
Rs. 500 for a liter 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 liter

Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 150 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1167 per
liter

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

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

And this is the REAL KICKER...

HP deskjet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per liter!!!

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.
