Hi CHR,
First a Big Congratulations to you for getting 500 [504] new members in the month of June 2005.
Well to further the point look at the article below
For, if the state government is willing to forgo the high rate of sales tax and road cess it imposes on fuels, you just have to pay Rs 34.39 for a litre of petrol, instead of the Rs 43.79 you shelled out today. And for a litre of high speed diesel you could have paid Rs 26.5 instead of Rs 30.80
Would you not be happy if the rate was reduced to Rs. 34.39 for petrol... Wait... The actual price comes to Rs. 19.67 paise ex. the factory of the oil companies...
75 paise per litre is given as commission to the petrol pump owners....
And more than Rs.21 per litre goes to the government as part of the duty, central tax, education cess, state tax and octroi [in Ahmedabad & Mumbai].
So next time you go to petrol pump remember that you are paying Rs. 21/- to government for every litre of petrol you fill....

Hi Ajmal,
:) Thank you and I hope things will accelerate even further next month – the <link outdated-removed> ( Search On Cite | Search On Google ) has only been available for half of this month and I think that has had a major effect on the number of registrations.
Regarding the petrol prices – you’ve got me depressed – I just booked my first car a few weeks back. :(
Warm regards,
