This week in fact Oil prices came down from USD 76.41 to USD 74.67 per Barrel. Best that people know whats the Formula so that we too can calculate the accuracy based on the Dollar Rupee.

you need to calculate based on FOB singapore platts. dont look through your coloured glasses. all ministers perks must be reduced as well. not only theirs, even the government officials, GMOA etc etc.

All these issues are because they decreased oil prices for an election promise. Stupid voters should be blamed for this, no one else.

Before you could increase the price of petrol these bloody three wheeler veddhas have increased the price by Rs 20.00 per hire. What do have you say about that?
