Petrol and cooking gas prices

Here the price keeps rising each month always; we are given to learn that it is due to rise in international markets. Government says the rise would have been much more, but it is giving us at lower price, rest is borne by government. The price is different in different states too. Well I had a discussion with a professor of economics, he said, price in my city is Rs. 63.40 per liter, but in Pakistan it is Rs. 26, in Bangladesh -- Rs. 22, in Cuba---Rs. 19, in Nepal Rs. 34, in Burma -- Rs. 30 and in Afghanistan ---- Rs. 36. He further said, the basic cost per liter is 16.50, plus Centre tax @ 11.80%, Excise duty 9.75%, Vat cess 4%, State tax 8 % so total is Rs.50.05 , we pay Rs 63.40, this means we pay extra Rs 13.35 per liter. But government says we are given at lesser price!!! Due to rise of price, the bus/taxi/auto rickshaw owners hike their price, this effects cost of grocery, vegetables etc. Our budget to run family is disturbed. [b]What is the scene in your place does the price keeps rising frequently? How you cope with it? What price you pay, please specify the country name. Please share your opinion in this matter.[/b]Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.
