Sensibility

Over the last weekend, I filled up my fuel tank when I thought petrol has become really expensive .

But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some speedy calculations which made me feel a little better.

Know why?

See the results below and you'll be surprised at how outrageous the price of some other products are!


Diesel (regular) : Rs. 39.00 per litre


Petrol (regular unleaded) : Rs. 54.51 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


Hey, Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER? And the buyers don't even know the source??
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)


Kores white-out 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre


A 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?
Because they have you hooked up for a lifetime of ink!


So, the next time you're at the pump, don't curse; just be glad your bike/ car
doesn't run on cough syrup, after-shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink!

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week!
