Hello Everyone, Energy requirement is increasing as population is increasing. On Earth we have limited resources of energy like coal, petrol, diesel etc. Oil is a liquid fuel which is very costly now these days. There are following causes in my opinion. 1. Its prices are increasing because of less amount of conventional resources and demand is more. 2. Oil companies have breakdowns and failure in the plant which causes them to recover their money by increasing the prices and get it back from customers. 3. If there will be high amount of import from the foreign country then there will be increment in the cost of petroleum. Solutions: 1. One of the best solution is to find out an other alternative of the petrol and diesel so that demand may get shifted to that source of energy and it should be cheaper than petrol. 2. Another possible solution is to come up with the new technology in the automobiles which consumes less fuel and it can give good milage. 3. Like these days some of the innovative modifications are coming that they are running the engine with air as a fuel, electric vehicles, solar vehicles and CNG vehicles. So our youngsters will have to come up with new technologies for reducing the huge mountain like prices of petrol.

Hi Guys. Firstly, the rise in Oil price is mainly due to the high taxes imposed on One litre of Petrol or Diesel. Secondly, the crude Oil Price per barrel is periodically increasing every time and hence it becomes difficult for Oil companies to manage the rise in price. They do not have any other option but to increase the price per litre. Thirdly, the Oil companies have been given rights by the Government to increase or decrease the price of petrol or diesel according to the market. The best way to overcome this problem is to reduce the tax imposed on the price per litre of petrol/diesel. It is fixed by both central and state government. We can use public transport much more than individual transport as it saves a lot of fuel. It is also very cheap compared to own transport.

Increasing of Oil price is a big issue in now a days. Now the time has already come for think twice about the concerned matter. It is a fact that human being can make control over it. If only I or any one can not make changes on it. It is responsibility of every person who is the owner of a single drop of Oil. As we all are aware that Oil is Limited source of energy. As it is available in limited in earth we have to Limit over this in accordance to our use. At first I have to be conscious about this matter. If I will not be conscious then I can not make any one conscious. What are the steps I have to be taken for controlling over this that is more important for me. Then I can be discuss with others for some more steps to control over it. What I have to do is given here under. 1. At first I have realize the value of a single drop of Oil after that steps will be comes to my mind to control over it. 2. I have to limit my use over it. I have to use wherever is mandatory for utilizing. 3. I have to limit the use of my vehicles and use where it is completely necessary. 4. I have to maintain my vehicle in such a manner so that it will consumes less fuel. 5. In traffic I will not keep my vehicle in running mode. Neither I but We all should be aware about this factor. And if everyone in this world think only one unique steps to control over this problem then there will be 600 crore steps comes to controll over this problem. Actually problem is within us. We are using it without thinking. If we will start to use this valuable natural resource by thinking about its real value then we have to controll over it. Thanking you.

Good morning friends as we are aware about oil is a natural product. And it is limited so we must take it as nature's gift to human to make human life comfortable and convenience. There are many reasons in hiking oil prices in india: high demand, low import and surplus population. So this is the time that we must think about each and every perspective of oil consumption. * Request to every family who earn well they must buy 1 or more bicycle to cover short distance and for small kind of work. It will not only bring low consumption of oil but also you would be enjoying cycling exercises which is really health concerned. * Sometimes people are more concerned about safety measures and buy car. If it is necessary so kindly think about electric vehicles, Use CNG vehicles or diesel vehicles which can limit the use of oil in transport. AND the best way use public transport: safety, pollution control, less consumption of oil and traffic control. * Government also must think about it and must introduce some vehicles w/o oil like we can see people use motor engine manufacture by own and run their vehicle. There are many vehicles been introduced like rickshaws with motor engine. Its really very creative work from people mostly in villages where oil has limited existence. * I really liked the concept of mahindra introducing electric car Reva. Automobile companies really must introduce the conference on save oil and save environment. * There are many villages where people are not aware about the renewable source of energy like solar cookers, battery lams and they use lantern, stoves, petrol. To make hot water. Hill Stations which is far away from cities and places where people hardly like to move. Government has responsibility to introduce these sources to people living there.

Hello everyone, Natural Oil is one non-renewable commodity which a common man cannot imagine his life without. This is one commodity which is a very essential source of life for a common man. Skyrocketing prices of oil has eventually put his life under severe pressure. Within three years the petrol prices have increased by ten times. The increasing petrol prices are directly or indirectly affecting the food, textile, transportation, manufacturing industries. This has done nothing but made the consumer suffer. According to me the following can be done to face this problem: 1. Government can try to subsidize the rates of petrol, if many countries have achieved this I think India can match them too. 2. The government can do a basic improvement in the quality of roads of the country. If the roads are pothole free and widened there will be smooth navigation of vehicles which can curb fuel consumption in a drastic way. 3. Bengaluru road transport authority is planning to use battery operated Eco-friendly buses which will reduce the consumption of petrol and is environmentally friendly. 4. Government can help the companies which are trying to manufacture Electric scooters by funding these companies. 5. Research should be made on usage of bio diesel. Thank you! 5. The central government research facilities like the CFTRI, and the DRDO should be urged to carry out research on invention of alternative sources of energy.

Hi, High oil prices is the main problem in today's life. Since India imports the oil from other country and oils are non renewable source, and day by day its quantity is decreasing so due to the less availability and high demand, producing country increasing its cost price to get more and more income. If demand from other countries decrease then producing country will automatically decrease its cost to sell. Now main point is, how to reduce demand. So demand of oil will decrease when we use more and more government transport and less use of private transport and by this traffic jam will also reduce in big cities. And we should use sources like solar energy or other form of energy.

Hi everyone. It can be controlled up to some extent by the combining effect of our government and ourself. Definitely price can't be decrease in future because we are not producing it, its a natural product, one day it will be finish. So what we can do, from the very beginning we can take precaution or start working on its alternative. - Start using renewable sources like wind, solar and hydro power for generating electricity and use electric vehicle/ save oil. Like Gujarat chief minister modi said by using solar panel in canal of every villages we can generate 10 MW of electricity from a small village so we can apply this funda and use solar cooker, heater instead of using stoves, as 80% of people in villages still using stoves, lantern which consume oil. So we should be careful. - Lets come to what our government can do. First thing we should know that subsidies given in oil is very low as compare to other developing country like India due to the corruption. The amount of money deposited in swiss-bank in a year by our political leader if invested in oil subsidies, believe me oil price will get reduce to 50% of the today's market price. - The other thing, our government can do, invest some money in R & D department of renewable energy so that new technology will come to the market and will be available in cheaper price so that a middle label people can afford. - Lastly it can aware the people of India in every villages so that they can be thought about the real fact.

I found that oil prices is increasing day by day only because of human comforts. If we people try to avoid private transport and prefer the public transport, it will help us to control the consumption of oil. And we all know this thing very well that when consumption will low ultimately the prices will remain constant. We should remember one thing in our mind that if we will not control the consumption of oil today than our future generation should suffer a lot for this. We should prefer the eco friendly vehicles instead of fuel engines like bicycle. For government, I only suggest that government should avoid importing of the non-renewable resources.

Hello Everyone, I agreed with all, According to my view, For developing countries like India the production of vehicles must grown day by day it helps develop Indian economy. But govt have take core about fuel like petrol and diesel. For which the following things govt has to do for the peoples. 1. Must provide technology i.e use renewable energy sources like solar energy. 2. Providing electrical vehicles. 3. Production of electrical energy from renewable energy sources. So the requirement of petrol little reduces then the cost hike may not causes. People also prefer to go by public services like bus and rails. Thank you,

Hello friends, According to my view only government is not responsible for the high prices of oil even we are also responsible for this. We should the importance of oil. It's non renewable source of energy so we should use it carefully. These fuels are not only used in vehicles but also used for electricity production. So we can use renewable energy resources for electricity production like solar energy, wind energy etc. We can use the bio gas or bio diesel for this purposes. Government should make fine and smooth road and provide a better transportation to people. We can minimize the use of petrol & diesel by use of public vehicle for short distance.

Hi Friends, I would like to share my views on this important topic. Oil prices are increasing day by day. It will not go down in future. We need to understand the necessity hike oil prices. Government And public both can together help to reduce the prices. People should use public transport instead of private vehicle. Prefer walk for small distance not use bicycle or any other private vehicle. Government Should launch more and more public transport. In foreign countries like U.K. Road charges are very high so people use public transport instead of private vehicle because it cost very high. We should turn off light on red light. All are some basic tips through with help of these we can overcome increased high oil prices.

Well, the prices for oil will not go low for sure, day by day it will increase because the population is increasing at a much faster rate, similarly the consumption of the petrol and diesel is increasing rapidly it can go to 2-3 times the prices in the next 4-5 years, and according to the survey the source of oil will remain up to 2050. So the government and we the people should start to rely on renewable energy resources. Instead of using cycles we can use electric power driven vehicles and that will help in reducing the pollution to a large extent. I am using a one and saving the petrol. Prefer walking if you are going for a small distance.

Hai friends, I am Senthil Kanth, I want to share my knowledge in this topic. Today the world is in the race for taking the oil from the earth. Nowadays, oil level is decide one of the most powerful factor in deciding the strength of that particular country. All of them want to suck the fuel from the earth without worry about the future's life of our new generation. In my point of view, the people's in awareness is the main thing for what today's happening. So each and every men from the earth should know about this basic knowledge about our Geographic Nature. Every one should. 1. Reduce their usage of petrol and diesel vehicle for the short distance. 2. Better to take a walk for this, it also for their health. 3. Try to mingle with our neighbors for traveling, it also give time to share your feelings with them. 4. Don't encourage the children to go with bike for a shop, just tell his/her to go with their friends it will increase their friends circle. 5. Gov. Is the more responsibility for make awareness of their peoples by giving Advertisement and announcements through Radios, Tv's, Banners and posters. 6. It is responsible for both Gov. And the people to follow, no can blame the opponent. 7. Reduce usage of oil and save money, save earth.

Hi all, I am Praveen and I am here to discuss on High Oil Prices which have been the major concern for our country economically. Because of the frequent hike in the oil prices the transportation cost, cost of goods and commodities, has been effected, resulting increasing inflation in our country. The only way to reduce the oil prices is to utilize the available resource optimally and find alternatives wherever possible. The Government of India has a major role to play in this context to motivate people on optimal usage of oil consumption. We being the citizens of India have to save resources for our future generations and act responsible.

Hi All, My name is Apurva. Today we are here to discuss on the topic to reduce the use of Oil Price. First of all we have to think how can we decrease the use of oil so that the cost of effect less. For this we can do the following steps: 1) We can walk or use bicycle to travel a short distance instead of using motorbike. 2) We can use product getting energy from renewable sources of energy like solar, thermal or wind. 3) We can also do carpooling by this we can decrease the use of petrol or any kind of energy. 4) We can use electric bike so that we don't need petrol etc. 5) Instead of purchasing it from outside of the world, we have to look other renewable sources of energy inside our country. Now we can decrease the rate of petrol by: 6) Government should purchase the petrol more when the rate are low in international market and stock it rather in purchasing it in high rate. 7) Government should not provide the dealership to private parties as later they impose their own rates. 8) Government should provide extra knowledge to people to know how to use these types of product convent. 9) Government should provide product uses point in rural areas as in rural areas still there are many people who not even think of such big points. Etc. So there are many other ways to decrease the rate of petrol. Thanks.

Well its far more easier to achieve if there is a greater social acceptance to certain do's and don'ts. 1) Making greater use of public transport. 2) Prefer walking over personal vehicle for shorter distance. 3) If possible a group should travel through share vehicle. 4) Giving subsidized fuel limit above which the user will be charged more than usual price. 5) Awareness about shortage of petrol diesel etc. 6) Switching off the engine when in signal. 7) Making states compulsory to have either/all of solar/geothermal/thermal/bio fuel/wind/hydro/tidal etc source of energy units depending upon the geographic condition of that region. 8) By products which are the result of petrol/diesel like cosmetics/petroleum jelly /plastic should be reduced to a certain extent. 9) If country like India can make beer/vine out of grain and vegetable in such a huge amount then using remains of sugarcane (molasses) she can produce fuel which would be more affordable. 10) Above all to make earth green we have to have more scientific research in the field of bio fuel.

To deal with the oil crises, everyone of this country will have to play a crucial role. Here are some suggestions for it : 1. People in urban areas will have to commute by public transport for short and long distance, this will reduce the petroleum oil, traffic jam, and will save time as well. 2. Railway government and the defense ministry have the maximum amount of land where these two departments in cooperation with the central government can do cultivation of Jatropha plant which is the alternate source of energy. 3. Government will have to subsidies battery and electricity run vehicles which will reduce the dependence on petroleum products. 4. Central government will have to invite more foreign scientists and engineers to do a joint research with our Indian scientists and engineers to explore the petroleum products in run of kutch and also in the coastal areas of our country. 5. The central government will have to make it mandatory for every state to have alternate sources of energy like wind, solar& thermal energy depending upon the geographical condition of the state. 6. The central government will have to invite more foreign companies for Investment in the country so that we can have metro connectivity here.

We can reduce the use of Fossil fuels through following ways: 1. Reduce the amount of plastic you use. Plastic is a petroleum-based product. Use canvas bags for grocery shopping, carry a reusable water bottle filled with water from home instead of buying individual plastic water bottles every time you get thirsty, and buy beverages or food items packaged in glass bottles instead of plastic ones. 2. Switch to a wood stove as a source of heat. If you have an oil furnace, consider installing a wood-burning stove instead. 3. Drive less. Walk, ride a bike, take public transportation or carpool to your destination instead of driving. If this is not possible, consider buying an electric car, hybrid car or just a car with better gas mileage that will help you reduce or eliminate the amount of oil you use. 4. Install solar panels on your home. Switching to solar power completely eliminates your dependency on fossil fuels for heat or energy in your home. 5. Buy locally grown organic produce, or plant your own organic garden. Transportation of food across the country from industrial farms to grocery stores is a big drain on fossil-fuel resources.

Its have been a bone of contention for government and have disbalance the budget of common man-"rising fuel prices". This quote covers the headline now and then. Recently it has gone unbridled as government handed over the duty to peg the prices to the fuel industries. The solution to this-- use public transport (now its have been a cliche almost). Most people have succumbed to that solution only. I will like to converge on the fact of use of solar energy also albeit of its high capital investment is required it is quite effective for cooking, house conditioning (naturally for winters). Countries like Russia, America have been following that but ours country's wide participation is yet to come. We need to spread the information regarding that as mostly thin it as the implicated type of energy. Also a move that government good take in aviation, transport and in LPG is veer toward the rating of the vehicles as in electronic devices. There are star ratings by ISI for the energy efficient devices. 5 star is the most energy efficient and 1 star will wolf down the electricity and your pockets. This can be successfully emulated for the vehicles also. It will encourage people to choose according to the efficiency and will serve to reduce the cost incurred and pollution as well.

Good Afternoon to all, Every where are every one is and will get affected by excessive usage of natural resources. There should be limited and proper utilization of these resources. Research should be given prominence to find ways for different modes of energy and to reduce usage of petroleum products. Electricity plays an very important part in minimizing usage of fuel. Electronic two wheeler and cars could replace increasing carbon monoxide exhaustion from vehicles. Metro trains, MMTS, Trams which are public transport has to be planned/design with the help of government establishments which would cover most of the city/towns. All the vehicle users need to have a card system to ensure the fuel usage (individually). This will help in subsidization as there are commercial users and individual users and cards need to be on the owner vehicle registration owners. This will help restricting excess usage of fuel and charges would vary on usage of fuels. Solar energy, wind energy, fuel from sugarcane, electricity could combine in effective decrease in importing fuel. This will save lots of tax as it would possibly only increase in future. Bi-Cycle should be used as much as possible in short distance. Even private and public sectors should propagate usage of bi-cycle, hardly a couple of people drive it to their office. It helps in keeping one's fitness and saves fuel. Awareness programs are to be taken to ensure the effects of pollution, to off the vehicle at red signals and to have self start option with vehicles would also help in doing this process with ease, maximum usage of sharing vehicles especially cars to office help in reducing cost and fuel. Nevertheless practicing by few won't help much but collectively and decisions at the top level and improvisation relating with research would surely help our country progress with leaps and bounds.

Devvrat said: (Wed, Mar 20, 2013 12:24:58 PM)

Hello I am Devvrat and firstly its very important to know what causes hikes in oil prices ? 1) firstly, the price hikes are due to more demand and less supply. So this can be only met by reduced consumption and the reasons have been discussed already. 2) secondly, the price rises when there is increase in value of rupee for a single dollar so if 1$ was initially 45 rs. And after few years it become 1$=52 rs. So there will be definitely a hike in oil prices since the mechanism of payment of crude oil is based on $ per barrels. So for this we have to strengthen our economy and we all know how it can be done and even govt is doing best for them. Know here are the solutions which I think are VERY APPROPRIATE after my findings. Firstly what the CONCEPT I have found out is the concept of "DIESEL SUBSIDY CARD" what government is to do is to issue a diesel card for every family and specify the amount of consumption of fuel per month/year of the family based on the number of members and type of work they do. Then showing the diesel card they would get the diesel at a SUBSIDIZED price (say if the price is 70 rs. They would be getting it for rs. 65 or 63 as fixed by government) and now if the people use the cars beyond the limit specified they have to pay extra price (that is like 80 rs or 75 rs if the real price is 70 rs) which is called PREMIUM price. So its ADVANTAGES will be. 1) the mango people will use the diesel fuel cautiously and wisely since they have a limit of usage and they will be using means of public transport like buses, tempos etc so this saves fuel. 2) moreover there will be no loss to the government / companies since the losses due subsided price will be covered by the premium prices given by the high class people. =>ANOTHER finding is that we have to uses MOLASSES as an alternate sources of energy and it is already being implemented in BRAZIL and moreover we produce a large number of sugarcane so it is a very good option for an alternative source of energy. And lastly as one of my friends said that that GOVT must give CONTRACTS TO GOVERNMENT COMPANIES instead of private companies (like ONGC INSTEAD OF PRIVATE ones) this would definitely reduce the oil prices.

Hello friends. This high rate of diesel and petrol can be decreased only when we go for using cycles that helps to keep good in our health also. When every people use their cycle, bikes and cars will be of no use. But using cycle is also too hard. How much long can we drive using our cycles? so the sophistication has been created. But its rate also has been increased. The government increases only the expenses like petrol, diesel etc but they should insist the private companies to increase their salary also. Then this problem can be managed to some extent.

Hi friends, I agree with most of you that we should search for alternate fuel, maximize usage of public transport, go for periodic servicing of vehicle, improve standard of public transport. But as per my opinion, to control high oil prizes government should levy high tax on personal vehicle which happens in Singapore to promote use of public transport. In addition to this subsidy on diesel for SUV and high end diesel cars should be finished. The subsidy on diesel is not meant for luxury but for irrigation purpose in farmland. In this way people can be convinced not to buy SUV and high end diesel cars, thereby helping in reducing oil prizes.

High oil price can be controllable by these three steps: 1. Use of public transport system rather than personal vehicle. 2. Government Should give subsidy to control the price or they should reduce the tax on crude oil (because Indian government charge 49% tax on crude oil which is highest in world). 3. Public awareness regarding sustainable use of our resources.

Hello friends, according to my point of view this is very burning topic but not recent. Now a days we have crossed the carrying capacity of the environment by our careless use and over exploitation of limited resources and indiscriminate spread of pollution and garbage. We all are living in present without considering sustainable development. Various points have been suggested above regarding ways to save natural resources and I am agree with all the points. I just want to say that if we don't have sufficient money (or other forms of money) in our pocket and we are at some shop then obviously we can't afford that item (condition is that credit is not available) similarly earth is in dangerous position to absorb the waste generated by use and also to create resources with the rate exploited by the people. As we know that in our country few people walk a miles to digest the food and few walk a miles to get food. So its my request don't follow the trend of demonstration effect. Live modern life but not at the cost of earth's health and sustainable development.

The people of above middle & high class are very much reluctant to use public transport. This should change. No initiatives found from the side of Govt for solution, but only increasing the fuel prices and making the life of below middle class and poor people miserable. Full attention should be given by Government & private sector for innovative appliances for solar energy tapping which is available easily for all without exception. People also should switch over to alternative renewable energy resources before it is too late.

Well friends, we all aware about our increase in oil prices which is going to be increased in future too. For that, 1. Shift to the cycle. It not only reduce the stress in price hike but also reduce our blood sugar level. 2. Switch OFF the engine when in signal. 3. Could implement ethanol gas in our country and allow the public to use it. This will give relief in price hike.

Hello friends, According to me the increase in oil prices is the biggest problem that the country is facing today. An increase in oil price means increase in transport costs, thereby increasing the production costs of various goods. This will lead to inflation and the ultimate consumer gets affected. So we all need to do something before its too late, before there is a big hole in our pockets. We can't always blame the government, we ourselves need to take responsibility and see that maximum energy is saved. 1. Use by-cycle or walk for short distances, this not only saves fuel but also helps you to stay healthy and fit. 2. Switch off the engine during signals. 3. Periodic checking and servicing of vehicles this will avoid wastage. 4. If 2 or more people want to go to the same destination, travel together using a single mode of transport. What the government can do is improve the standards of public transport, which will encourage people to use them rather than their own vehicles for long distances. Government must invest on non conventional sources of energy like Solar, Wind, hydro etc. This will make us self sufficient and reduce the demand of oil from foreign countries and thereby lowering oil prices.

Friends, True, people are using their cars for short distances, INR is deteriorating in the world which is directly boosting oil prices to new highs and also due to population explosion across we are in a need to consume more oil. This implies that the price of oil will rise unless at least one of these things is controlled. But we all know that oil is a limited resource and therefore as time goes on the general trend would be of its increase DESPITE whatever measures we can take. Therefore the ideal way out of this "mess" would be to bring in renewable fuels and adopt bio fuels. I also think that as a country we should spend more for research in this critical area and take a leaf out of Brazil's book where they are already using alcohol as a fuel.

Friends, Hike in oil price will contribute to inflation. Fuel consumption and demand exceeds the supply makes the situation miserable. The government of India should control the quantity of imported fuel through:. 1, Research on non-petroleum engine for the vehicles (like bio diesel). 2, Assuring the companies to produce manufacturing large mileage vehicles. 3, Enhancing the public transport system (providing the awareness to the public of the scarcity of oil). 4, Use cycle for short range travel.

Friends, as far my views are concerned, I think obviously we should use the resource consciously but one more thing which will help in dealing with the rising oil prices is that we should try to increase our income faster than the rise in oil prices, in this way we will not find the rise in oil prices pinching. Forget about reducing the oil prices, for an individual, its even very tough to enlighten people with the with the concerns of efficient use of oil. So better we ourselves should be concerned about it. As changing a habit is the toughest task for a person, it would be great if we can pass on the idea of efficient use of oil to the next generation because they are not yet habituated with wasting it.

Hi Friends, Increasing Oil price is one of the biggest problems faced by our country. Increase in oil prices causes price rise and affect industrial production. I don't think giving subsidies to fuel is a solution to the problem, it puts the government under a huge fiscal deficit. We should find alternatives solution to this problem. Here are some of my suggestions to reduce oil crisis. 1- Reduce usage. A. Use public transport system, B. Turn off engine at traffic signals, C. Use fuel efficient cars, D. Use bicycles for short distances. E. Use CFL lamps instead of ordinary lamps. 2- Find alternative sources of energy. A. Use of non conventional energy systems like Solar panels, B. Bio-gas plants, C. Wind mills etc. 3- Reduce wastage. A. Turn off fans and lights when not in use. B. Do not put electronic systems in stand by mode, instead switch them off when not in use. I believe that by reducing usage and by producing energy from Non conventional sources our country can stop oil import and become Energy self sufficient.

Hello friends, Petrol prices hike is a daily case in India now-a days. Actually people's demand of fuel are always increasing. That's why we should control ourself on it. In a recent survey, it has shown that if we will use petrol on this rate, then the fuel will come to end after two decades later from the world. It also indicating us the unbalance of the earth due to this petroleum. So, its all individuals duty to think about it, who have used this fuel. We must find one or more suitable alternatives of this fuel, which meet our daily requirements. In this 21st century, where people have done several magical things in different field, so our scientist should develop some alternatives materials by which we can make our transportation better. The government also pay their full attention in this case. But, the main cause behind us, we, the normal people always spend our life to meet our family's requirements, nothing think about our society, about our nation.

I would also like to add up to the existing ideas put forth by my cohorts. Long duration of power cut do have their share in the rise of prices as people resort to alternate ways like using a diesel generator for powering the operations of the machines in their workplace and households. Thus a shift towards spending and boosting the use of renewable energy resources like solar, wind power and bio gas will be a win win situation for us helping us to not only to control the increase in oil prices but also to make the common man self sufficient to fuel the engines by the use of renewable energy and hence earn a profit.

Hi friends! Rising petrol and diesel prices is a big problem to worry as it has a direct effect on our basics needs. If transportation cost is high then then we have to pay more for our basic needs. I agree with most of my friends! I want to add something to that. Government can deal with the rising prices by following. 1. Availability of oil should b fixed to per person so that consumption of oil will be under control. 2. Increase in demand and low supply is the main reason for rising prices. Better transportation will reduce the demand as it will motivate public to use public transport which ultimately will help in lowering the prices. 3. Government Can start using alternative source of energy e.g. Solar energy electric energy wind energy to reduce the consumption. At-least in small towns govt can use these alternatives in public transportation system. 4. By subsidizing or by lowering the tax imposed on petrol government Can control oil prices. 5. Better roads and handling traffic can help in saving prices. In metro cities, use of timer on red lights is a smart move by the government To save petrol. This timer should be there on every red light in India. But reasons for rising prices like fluctuating dollar value, price of crude oil in international markets, rising population are not under the government Control. We all as an individual also need to make an effort with government In order to control the prices. Thanks a lot my dear friends.

HELLO! High oil prices have been scathing us lately, and fueling many strikes across the length of the country. But, what everyone must realize is that every one of us is contributing to the problem! we opt for private transports when equally good public transports are available. People keep their engines on even when not in use. The loss might seem negligible but "every drop makes up an ocean" is also true. Moreover, research in the field of "oil-saving" is not being carried out seriously. We need to come out with novel methods of discovering substitutes for oil, or at least work to improve its efficiency. Science and research will solve 50% of the problem. Thus, to lower oil prices we need some concrete contemplation on this issue from all quarters of the country.

Hi friends nice discussion, High oil prices are a result of gap between the demand and supply. In a country like where 80% of oil is imported from other countries it should be used carefully but instead we are wasting it for our luxuries. With the use of public transport we can save lot of fuel. So people should prefer to travel in public transport vehicles. Government should increase the number of buses. For smaller distances better to use bicycles or go by walk. Buy the vehicles which yields higher mileage. 50% of the price because of the taxes imposed by state and central governments. Our neighbor countries oil rates far below than us. So government should reduce the taxes on oil imports. Government should give subsidized oil for public transport and higher rates for private vehicles. Government should increase funding on r&d activities related to energy sources. A good amount of research should be done renewable energy sources which can be used as a substitute for diesel and petrol like hydel, thermal, tidal, bio diesel etc. Proper awareness should be taken among the people regarding the scarcity of the resources.

Hi friends, when I think about this, the price increment in petrol and diesel will effect more on the middle class people and low class people because. If the price of the petrol or diesel increased means the price of every products increase, that means if the price of the diesel increased the bus owners take strikes. For the increment of bus fares, this will automatically effect the normal people who struggles in their life because more peoples depend upon bus for their daily. Transportation, the next thing is that many states depend other states for crops, fruits, vegetables also, these things are transported through trucks, lorries etc, they also. Start strikes or increased the cost of transportation because of this the price of all product became increased, this will also more effected the normal peoples. In this thing I think that there is a mutual understanding between government and oil companies because of that they regularly increase the price of fuels.

There are other resources too which can be used. Next is we can use biological fuels also which are cheaper than oil and will provide substitute to it. Government should make people think that going by thier own vehicle is waste of time and fuel, in this concern government should increase transportation facility and the public transport should make more frequent. While going to office pooling is a good option for fuel saving. As we all know our country is largely fascinated by Bollywood. So Bollywood stars can motivate people for saving fuel. Government should make good road facilities such as building flyovers that cut unwanted paths.

Increased consumption and less production has led to the increase in oil prices. India imports about 80% of oil. Guys I think government should think of energy security in order to regulate price. Government should focus on:. 1. Diversify energy mix: Diversifying the energy mix by using different types of fuels can increase energy security because High dependence on one particular energy source makes the country vulnerable to the availability of that resource. 2. Diversification of energy supplier: High dependence on a particular supplier of energy sources, which increases the vulnerability of the country with respect to the availability of energy resource. 3. Nuclear Energy: Maximize production from nuclear energy, which presently, due to physical constraints, has been limited to a capacity of 63000 MW by 2031/32. 4. Development of O&G reserve: Explore category II and category III sedimentary basins to find prospective reserves, use of new technology for appraisal of marginal field and application of EOR/IOR to increase ultimate recovery from brown fields. Govt. Should promote renewable energy sources such as: Bio-gas, Geothermal, Hydel, Thermal, Tidal, Solar. Focusing on these should help in regulating oil prices.

Hi Friends, As per my knowledge the oil prices increment has resulted for many to live in an unfavorable condition. The poor or the needy ones are one of them. Oil prices also affected the middle class people. The continuous use of the oil is the reason for the depleting of the resources. This obliged the resource minister to made an absolute or a temporary increase on the prices of the oil. But it is a very simple task to deal with those high prices. The increment of running vehicles in streets had also contributed for the increment in the prices. So, our very first way to deal with the prices is to convince people to self-deny their consumption of cars. If they already consumed it, the best path is to limit or reduce its utilization. One of everyone should become ascetic to deal with the high prices of any product. The reduction of the consumption of oil could later develop the resources and the mind of the minister to think to reduce the price. The reduction in price could again encourage people to consume and utilize more and more oil. It is like a cycle which starts with high prices and ends again with high prices. Therefore to deal with high prices is only in the hands of wisely thinking people.

Hi friends, In India the public transport is not comfortable for many due to the lack of sufficient number of vehicles owing to the increasing population. Due to this reason many use bike or cars or autos for transportation. As a result there is a great increase in the oil consumption and thus increase in the volume of oil import. As a result cost of oil is increasing every day. Either the government should provide more comfortable transportation like more buses, metro-rails or make people aware of other alternatives like car pooling or using cycles, for less distance, or buy hybrid cars which run on battery and petroleum. In this way we can decrease every day oil consumption. Many IT companies like TCS and other organizations have separate portal where they encourage employees to consider car pooling whenever possible. So it thus comes down to making others aware of alternative option for reducing oil consumption in every day activity.

Even they are not stopped engine in the long time traffic jam just to stay in "air-cooled" car. This is nothing but a wastage of fuel. GOVT. Should make rules on this type of activity like-"who have been see with started engine in the long time traffic jam will be punished". Increase in price on fuel will not affect the life style of rich people but it will have a great effect on middle class people and below middle class people. Because due to increase in price on fuel it is obvious fare of public transport will also increase. For this reason daily passenger who are from middle class or below middle class will also suffer. Some friends said make people aware that earth has a limited amount of oil. But practically saying no one can understand the pain until they feel it. Govt should choose alternative way to save fuel for our next generation. They can increase the usage of solar engine in transport, they can increase public transport like bus, train.

It is the most important topic for the awareness of the people also. Oil prices in India is increasing very fast. 1st reason for that is the consumption amount but this is not the main reason because in developed countries the oil usage is about 40 percent more. The main reason is corruption. Indian govt is importing ample amount of oil from USA at very high rates. Actually high rates on the paper. They give the contract of oil refining to reliance which is also very high. So. At last I would like to conclude by saying that corruption should be controlled before it breaks the backbone of our economy.

Hi, There are many effective ways through which oil price can be controlled. There is a demand supply rule in every product. So, if demand will reduce price will automatically fall down. The best way to reduce demand is when we understand the power of renewable energy and there unlimited potential and develop the method through which it can be used for the industrial consumption as most of the demand come them.

Hello friends, very good topic to talk. All of my friends give a good suggestion so thanks to all. But I wants to add some thing different. Actually I want some invention and innovation in this field. I want that a lot of non conventional energy sources should come into existence and a continuous development should be there in the existed on which make them more and more reliable and economic to use them. My friends you can see still there is no solar engine, electric engine in our syllabus in fully explained way like ic engine. So thought process to develop such system is quite lower than to develop an ic engine. There should be awareness and reward. From government side for whom which are working in this side.

Hi every one. Now a days oil prices is very expensive because of utilizing so much of oil. This can continue. We will face these problem coming days also so that. We follow some conditions. That is. We shouldn't encourage walkable distance by vehicles. We shouldn't go only one in cars for long journeys. We should buy mileage giving vehicles is best. If we can utilizing oil resource valuable then automatically somewhat prices could be decrease.

Its really a very good topic to speak on. And so many friends gives very great suggestions to reduce the effect of oil price hike. I just want to add a little bit on their suggestions. First of all, I think, there is a need to create awareness among people about the importance of this very important natural resource. People should be aware that crude oil is very limited inside earth and should be used as minimum as possible. We should try to use General Transportation like city buses, rickshaw and vikram for going to the easy places. Sometimes, we need personal vehicle for transportation in our daily life so we cannot stop using them practically. But we should take care while buying a vehicle that it should consume lesser amount of fuel as compared to others. Nowadays, people are interested in buying bikes which are powerful and consume high amount of fuel like bullet, pulsar, yamaha. Fuel average of these powerful bikes are in range of 10KM/ltr to 30Km/ltr. Using these kind of vehicle for carrying just two people is totally a wastage of fuel. This wastage should be stopped. Government should also encourage the use of rickshaw in city transportation. This will increase the employment for poor people and also reduces the use of fuel consuming transportation. This also make a positive effect on our environment too. Government should also make the policy for car owners that, they should not be allowed to drive car until all the seats of it are not fulfilled i.e. No car should be run on road which do not have person other than driver.

Hi friends, It is time to control the oil price by our-self, plan our time table such a way that minimum usage of oil use from our side. The price hike is connected with the usage of oil so, 1) If we are going for running or walking in the morning what is the need to use vehicles, practice walking to reach the ground too. 2) Try to use public transporting facilities (train, bus). We can control the usage of the oil to an extend. If we control oil price hike we can actually save money in different ways. 1) Usage of oil will be less. 2) If no price for oil hike, price of other day to day essential items price also will not be increased. Another advantage is the air pollution also be controlled.

Hello Friends. As we know about high oil prices but this is because our non limited use of energy resources. We should use our resources in a sustainable way. For this we should: 1. Use bicycles more then automobiles. 2. Use public vehicles more then private. 3. Switch off the engine at red signal. And government should also put an effort to reduce the prices.

Hello friends;. I want to represent my idea on this topic. In my view every person should try for recovering from this huge problem not only by the government but also we all should make efforts. For this we needs change of our mind and also there is a need of knowing about whats are the loss of using these Diesel or petrol Engines vehicles and whats are the benefit for using eco-friendly things like bio gas, electric vehicles, instead of using petrol, Diesel oil. etc., Few things which I know I want to share with you like. -> We should use bicycle for short distance or as possible as we can do. By this we can save our environment because by this we can decrease the pollution problems. -> We should use mostly our public transport instead of personal vehicles. By this we can save not only our petrol but also our time and we will not have to face a lot of traffic in the road which we daily face. -> We should invent the things which could minimize this problem. And save petrol for our future generation. -> We should change our mind and should not follow only style. -> Put off our engines at red traffic lights. It will save a huge amount of petrol. I also want some changes by our government like: -> Government should decreases the rate of taxes. -> Government should increase the number of public transport vehicles with high security. -> Government should maintain the roads good and safe for vehicles. At a glance I would like to say that THE SOME GOOD CHANGES CAN MAKES OUR LIFE EASY. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to say something.

Oil prices are rising in India and across the world, just because of the limited sources. But we are the users and we have to take care of this thing. We can't accuse government only for these price hike. I want to pay an attention where we loose our most of these sources. 1. In Diesel Engines : they consumes lot of fuel unnecessary, we can have a limit to this by the use of Electric engines. 2. Our daily need is largest consumption of energy sources. We can save it by using bicycles, or through walk. This can be concluded as limiting our daily unnecessary usage and preventing unwanted loss can only add a counterpart to the rising oil prices.

Almost all points have been covered. To add to the discussion a new dimension, I would suggest "a slight change in mindset of the Youth" could lead to tremendous conservation. For Example, Lets consider the case of bikes. Almost every college student or working professional has one. Now, the current mindset is to go for purchase of bikes that cost more (say 80k to 1Lac) just because of the fact that a Film star is endorsing it or for that matter, the stylish look the particular bike has. But, If we ponder over the other factor i.e. Mileage. The bikes that cost half the rate of the HiFi 1 Lac bikes, could give you almost double the average. Then, why go for style when you could be simple & conserve more. So, here comes the need in change of mindset. Be Simple. Save more !

Hello friends. First thing what is the reason the petrol price increases day by day. Because demand increase so also price will be increase and we know that resource are limited. So our duty is to secure petrol for our nest generation. So these are the things if we can do so defiantly petrol price will decrease:. 1. If there is 5 member in house no need to 5 cars. 1 or 2 car is OK. 2. If we go to 1 or 2 km we go by walk or use bicycle. 3. In the red signal we off our bike and cars. 4. If we are 2 friends are going to same office no need to go separate separate bike. You use one bike to go for office. 5. If you have time so try to use RTC bus. 6. DO research to find out substitute of petrol like bio gas and electronic bike which is easily generated. So these are things which is help us to reduce the petrol price. Thank you.

Hi friends. Its good to see that many people know the reason for price hike but only few follows it, and as a result the govt is constantly increasing the price as a reminder to consume less fuel. An easy way to tackle this price hike is to use more public transport and I am sure if we are cautious govt will try to stabilize the price of fuel.

HI. You all are too good with your points on oil price hike and its solution. Now it is clear to all that there is a political interest behind the continuous increase of oil price. For a long time we have been thinking that our Government will take some good steps on this issue. But the reality is that we are again waiting for another price hike by depending on our Government I believe everyone can make a difference in this word. Let us do something to solve problem. It is our duty to save oil for our future generation. First of all Stop buying 4 cars for a family of 4 members. A single car is sufficient. Stop using cars for showing status. Use cycles as far as possible. Make other people aware about the present situation and about the importance of saving oil. These small steps can change the picture. Decrease in consumption = Decrease in demand = decrease in price. Not only that it will also give us less polluted air. And let our dream alive that one day our Government Will think for us keeping aside the political interest.

Hello friend, According to my point of view the basic reason for price hike is that limited stock of fossil fuel, so there is no alternative to balance between limited stock and consumption, And regenration of fossil fuel require lots of years. So solution is that we should reduce the consumption of fuel to control the oil price. For example we can use either cycle or go by walk to shorter distance. Another option is that do some research so that vehicle should operate on other alternatives like battery or bio gas, which can easily regenerate.

Hai friends;. Topic seeks the reasons for hike in oil prices, According to me:. Political will is not good, they are all using the increasing demand for oils due to this they increasing the prices frequently. The main motive which behind in this price hike is corruption. Why can't we take our neighbour country (pakistan) , petrol price is about Rs20-25/litre only, because there is no heavy tax because of less corruption. It is our duty and rights to ask the value for our money. Only the government can take necessary actions to neglect unwanted taxes which is harmful to the lower income peoples then only our nation will become a developed nation.

Subsidizing a particular fuel or simply going back to using bullock carts as stated previously is not a solution to deal with high oil prices. What is really needed is for the government or private companies to take an initiative to research on alternative fuels such as methanol or bio diesel. As of today these alternative fuels are used scarcely and the plants to mass produce them are not developed. Once these fuels are mass produced globally only then can we use such fuels efficiently. Also more research needs to be done on electric vehicle technology in order to further reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. Once we achieve this the fuel prices will automatically stabilize.

Hello friends, Today in this modern we all are feeling necessity of having a vehicle to deal with daily work either going to office or any where else so from lower middle to rich class family tries to maintain at-least a scooter or a bike or car. So, they are also consumer of petrol and diesel. On the other hand diesel is used by heavy vehicle for transport of goods if govt raises diesel price it will affect all either he is poor, middle or rich, all will be the sufferer. So, in my views how we can tackle this. By raising the only petrol price so that it will not affect poor population to much extent. By providing subsidy on diesel as I sated above. More over farmers are infrastructure of any country so should no take chance on it.

Hi friends. As per the hike in petrol prices I would like to say you people some points. Now a days every one even a low class people also had their own vehicles so the use of petrol had also increased due to that we are giving a trust that every one are in need of petrol because no vehicle is going to run without petrol so government is cashing our use by increasing the prices. Let us break the trust of government by using transport which is away from the use of petrol for example:bullock carts, Tongas, rickshaws. Etc you people may laugh at me because no one are using those but I want to share a note with you that 'old is gold' so older things are never neglected by this we can be a part of downing the government and reducing the global warming and as a part we can save the petrol for our future generations.

Hello every one, 1st of all thanks to all for giving there valuable opinion on hike in oil price. According to me, there is no other way to tackle the unnecessary use of oil. As oil is a non-renewal resource, day by day it diminishing. A time may be seen, there is disappearance of oil in earth. So to sustain or to use oil for longer time we have to decrease our unnecessary use of oil. As far as possible, we should try to use alternative instead of oil.

Oil Prices are increasing rapidly these days. We must take some steps on our level. As we all know we can save 20% of our money on petrol by just switching off our vehicles on traffic lights if the time permits. Also by driving at the speed of 45km/h we can save a lot. Government has also taken some steps to make people to follow the above given steps. Also whenever we are travelling alone we must go by Two-wheeler not by four wheeler. We must keep in mind that oil is not extracted in our country. So we should also preserve our resources. Petroleum is obtained from coal and coal is obtained after thousands of years. So we must preserve. Also Govt is increasing the prices just to lower the use of oil in the country but we people are purchasing the oil at higher rate also. And of course the number of vehicles must be decreased as more the number of vehicles, more the price rise of oil. So govt should take the initiative that those people who are paying taxes only are entitled to buy a car. This will solve the problem of oil prices up to some extent and also our economy will get better.

Hi friends, Everyone's opinion about the high petrol price is correct. In my opinion the petrol price is increase in every year. Is it is continue then may after 10 year the petrol price become 1000 per 1 liter. About the governments view they want to reduce the use of petrol because it is a non renewable resource so people must think about how to reduce the use of petrol. Some people are not give any important to the petrol. They use vehicle for a less distance. So government should give a awareness of use of petrol to the people.

From the Government Side they reduced the tax of imports. 2. Provide better transportation to people. 3. Come up with bio-gas. 4. Make road fine. From the our Side we should do some things like. 1. Reduce the uses of petrol. 2. Went to office 2 person in one bike. 3. For the less distance use bicycle. 4. Car, auto use gas.

Automobile industries not restricting the production limit of vehicles, 2. Government ineffective policies to curb the situation. 3. Political will is not in favor of stopping it. 4. People is liking to show more than the purpose it meant for (vehicle purchase). 5. Advertising distracting the minds of youngsters, they are leaving cycles and demanding cars which is of no worth. 6. Most of the sources of transportation depends on the crude oil. 7. India has no sources for it.

Hello everyone, One of the major drawback in the growth of our economy is high prices of oil and other exported products which is increasing day by day with the increasing consumption. Use of personal vehicles do brings us a sign of comfort and status, but in the long run we are the one who are suffered. There is no ban on the number of vehicles purchased or used by an individual or a family, which allows us to bring new tools for increasing pollution and increase in oil prices. Who is effected in the end? of course, we are. Government has to take actions that what we all say but all the actions will go in vain if we don't try and stand by the solutions to this problem which is increasing like a demon's mouth. Friends, being the youth of the country, we have to stand against and fight for these problems. The solutions are already provided by my friends above, so, there is no need revising them. It all depends now how these solutions can b implemented by us. Thanks.

Hai friends, In my opinion raising of oil rate to high is a problem can be faced by every human being. It can impact of many personal needs of human daily resources. Government has to take action on it by reducing tax and not to encourage high polluting vehicles for daily transportation. Not only government people also has to take actions to this problem. Like by using buses for transportation instead of own vehicles. Every natural resource is connected with many other resources. So protecting our forests, rivers and many natural environment will surely leads to gain to our India development.
