Petroleum prices rising day by day

When I had purchased my bike, Petrol prices were 48 rupees/liter in India. Now they are 63 rupees/liter in just 3 years. I think it is about time we switched to hybrids. Unfortunately, hybrids are not available in India yet and the one that is available Honda Civic Hybrid costs a bomb. If nothing is done soon, we'll end up using bicycles again soon!!

pretol,diesel are price to high me.government and bjp are not controlled the people to high qaulity pretol,diesel to high person to cost our petrol daily activity our bike for more the time our time our Rs 50 but pretol is high .

Not only petroleum's price is rising day by day, other things also in the same situation. Of course, to find an alternative for petroleum is the best thing. But up untill now, we have not succeed in that. So as an ordinary person in this world, what we can do is try our best to live economically. For example, we can take a life to pick up our kids. Or family A pick up kids today, family B pick up kids next day. If time permits, we can ride a bicycle to work. Or if we work nearby, we can walk or run to office. That will be a way of kill two birds with one stone. We can not only save petroleum, but also be more healthier.Why not do that?

You are right mastinet, the petroleum product prices are rising at enormous rate. Just 2 days back the local prices of petrol in India rose by Rs.3.5/liter (about 8 cents) this is just after one month when they had increased it by similar margin. This is biting the common man just not for travelling but in just about everything as transportation cost gets added to all commodities. To arrest this I think first and foremost the research and development in other modes of fuel energy like sun energy, wind energy etc. has to be increased many folds so that the pressure on petroleum energy eases. Another very important point is to encourage mass transportation like buses, trains etc. in place of individual cars. Reduce the use of fuel gulping SUVs all over the world.

i think now we have an electric car and fuel oil subtitute. but not yet widely used because it is much more expensive than the price of oil, including the cost of her treatment. manufacturers may need to lower prices because the cost of production of electric cars and fuel oil substitute much cheaper, if they want to save the earth. not just make a profit.

I don't think governments going to make biodiesel the solution because it can be made at home. All you need is the knowledge and that will run many companies out of business. So to make life difficult they want us to buy more hybrid and electric vehicles so we can pay a higher electricity bill. Its all about money my friend not about the environment. Thats just an excuse. When something is in high demand the price go up. When something is in surplus and not many people wants to buy it the price goes down. Only two things will stop the rising price of oil. Find another energy source that is reliable and efficient but this will be expense and take years to implement and develop. So the second option which is the cheapest option is to drill for more oil to meet the demand and to create a surplus so that the price can come down. And this is the world we love in.

It's best to make alternative choices such as solar powered, biodiesel, or hydro powered...or better yet air powered land vehicles(if anyone can make such a thing, it would be awesome because air is all around us).

Prices are rising in many countries and regions common problems. This is a normal stage in the world economy, as long as no serious inflation is acceptable. On the other hand, the price increases at the same time your income increases.
