Hi Manu and Umalme,
"By the way, I will not invest in another vehicle running on fossil fuel..."
I meant that I would rather move by public transport or buy a car 'Reva' once they upgrade it to a bigger size with better range - at least 200km on a single charge. Still thinking of fuel... You may be happy paying Rs. 21 as tax to the government, who would then make sure that the money goes into the Swiss accounts of their ministers. I am not...
There was an underlying message in my post that opposes the government in the petrol price hike. Devote 5 minutes to send an email to the government, local newspaper, TOI, Indian Express, or whomever, to let the government know that increasing fuel prices leads to an increase in the overall cost of living.
So, I request both of you to send an email to the newspaper you read regarding the price hike in fuel prices.
