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): Rs. 36.08 pe r litre
Petrol (speed): 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. 660 for a litre of WATER???!!! And the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is naive.)
Kores White (Eraser) 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!Chill.....................

I never though there were so many mathematics involved over a Cup of coffee or a bottle of coca cola.
