Re: Car owners may not get subsidised diesel
in kerala..
my home to nearby town is 9 km. from where we buy things shopping etc.
going by bus it takes 5+5 =10 rupees to and fro for single person and 20 for two person and additional short distance 3.5rupee which is 7 for single person and rs14 for two person. total 17 rupee for single person and rs34 for two persons
let us exclude autorikshaw and taxi charges or such things which are usually unavoidable which would come above rs20-rs50.
we use honda activa scooter which costs 45km per litre .it consume 0.4litre of fuel with that distance for two person that is rs26-30 maximum.
sometime we all family 3-5 member have to travel to town or nearby distance.
if it was bus 25+25=rs.50 additona expenses excluded.
travelling 9+9km=18km costs us 1 litre diesal rs.44
we dont have local trains like in metro cities.
so we decided to go for a diesal car which pollutes less ,low on fuel consumption small size and comfortable. and it did really serve us many times on expenses.
we did not buy it for ready cash because we are not that rich to spend 7.5 lakh at once.but going for a cheaper car 2lakh-5 lakh , did not turn out to be investment worth in long run .
now government think that we are all enjoying luxury life and consuming their precious fuel for unreasonable activities then i dont have any faith in my government anymore.
end of the day it does not count how much the govt earns by taxing and other investment but the income and earnings of a common man which helps for better nation.
if a common man end up with zero saving then he is bound to resort on antisocial activities like black money ,thievery,cheating et al
how long can we survive like a communist country where only government should have money rest of the people are like cattles.
we can save as much as 50 percent of fuel if we had good roads.
i myself while travelling experience mileage of 22kmpl while travelling at night .whereas at day time in dense traffic the same figure drops to 10-12kmpl on same road and distance.
how can our government understand such crucial factors?
broadening roads ,making good roads are great source of income to many people rather than inflate the fuel and lpg prices and hold our throats when is our govt going to undertand about common man.
when is this goverment going to give any proper dignity to its own citizens.
Still you are not entitled to any subsidy. Yes if you travel by bus and demand subsidised fuel to keep the fares low it is acceptable.
A lot of people buy a diesel car just because diesel is "cheaper". However if you calculate you running costs plus the difference in purchase price, you may be better off with petrol. If petrol & diesel prices are equalized more people will opt for petrol. Only real heavy users will go for Diesel.
