LPG rates

in mumbai ............

.....cng has been around for more than 13 yrs ,....lpg just 5

.......there r more than 100 cng pumps ........ lpg just 15

.......cng saves 50% more than lpg .... on running costs ....

.......virtually 95% of buses ... taxis n autoriks of over 1 lac vehicles run on cng

..... yet ..................only 1% of private cars on gas run on cng !

....... mumbaiites r strange

......... in mumbai too .... cng is lot more than lpg

.... yet they think more abt lpg !!!

 

 

i know y they use LPG many times..... maybe it hasnbt been sed here due to "political" reasons...... the answer is ALOT of ppl use home LPG in the car....... der us a HUGE difference in the prices ..... infact even small LPg workshops offer a nozzel or sumthing for Rs1-3 thousand by which one can easily transfer the LPG into their cars........ !!!!!!! i m sure i BIG percent of ppl think LPg due to this !!!....

once again ..... u assume .... my friend .......

th fact .....

while it is true that many ppl use domestic lpg .... in delhi ..... and elsewhere in th country ........ in mumbai ... less than  1% might b using domestic lpg ......... in fact th tranfer pump u talk abt is not even easily available here ........

yet ....... inspite of cng being lot more than lpg in mumbai .........

mumbaikars think more abt lpg !

ne specific reason behind that Vidhur ??.. in Delhi ,its certainly abt saving money....because DOmestic LPG is way lesser than CNG too.. n i m surprized those little instruments are not present in Mumbai ???..i m sure it must be there...inside houses... or inside the workshops......

1. not only in delhi .. my friend .... everywhere its certainly abt saving money only ... even in mumbai !................... of th thousands of gas driven car owners i must hv come across in th last 15 yrs ... i hv yet to meet 1 ... who claimed ... saving money was not th prime motivating reason for converting to gas

2. yet ... i suppose .... mumbaiites value their convinience and safety too ..... a lot more ... alongside saving money ..... and that possibly might explain .... y inspite of abundant availability of cng ...... not even 1% of private gas car owners ....choose cng over lpg

3. domestic lpg sure costs way less .... lesser than cng too possibly ,,, but only initially .... in th long run ...... th way it screws up th engine and also lowers fuel averages .......it turns out to b more expensive than auto lpg ! ............ n of course there r safety issues .........transerring th gas from th red cylinder to th car using th local pump is a highly risky business ... besides being illegal ...................... i suppose ... mumbaiites .. value these factors a lil more too ...... alongside saving money 

4, " i am sure it must b there " ........ once again u r relying  on assumption ..... my friend !

If home LPG is so dangerous theny do people in delhi use it as pointed out by karan....Is it that they dunno care about their safety......

simply put ..........coz money blinds

th lure of money is so high that v tend to turn a blind eye to th grave negatives even when v kno them or read abt them or r told abt them

and th herd mentality helps ..........to justify ... as in ... 'since everybody is doing it .. all cant b fools' ............... and also to reassure oneself ... as in ........ 'since everyone is using it .... it cudnt b so unsafe'

n for similar reasons .... ppl also turn a blind eye to th inherent dangers of using ..... cng ... visavis ..... lpg

n yes ...since this thread was actually opened to keep every1 posted abt the lates LPG rates in New Delhi----

 

for October 2007--27.16 per litre

 

for November 2007-29.04 per litre....

 

BOY!!...November was the highest ever since i started using Autogas......  29.04 !!!!!......  not very far behind frm Diesel !!!...

lpg in mumbai ... dec 2007 ............ rs 30.74

lpg in navi mumbai .............. rs 29.95

 

govt will inevitably raise petrol prices also soon after th gujarat and himachal elections

n for December

rates in Delhi are at an ALL TIME HIGH......Rs 31.57 per litre....

which is abt Rs 1.50 more than Diesels rate per litre.

Petrol in Delhi is 43.51 ....so that ways the saving for LPG is even lesser in Delhi.......

sorry to say but its turning out to be really bad for LPG car owners.....espieciallly the WagonR Duo......... if LPg is getting more expensive ..n the avg on LPG isnt too much.....den wher exactly is the SAVING ???......ppl shud go n buy a Diesel car instead of the Duo.....
