As we see other natural sources may help us to resolve this problem. We can use a bicycle to travel short distances.
We will have to find more sources such as solar, air, water to ride vehicles.
The government should make a rule to reduce vehicle on the road.

Hello people,
We all know about the drastic increase in oil price nowadays. Why don't we use bi-cycles for traveling short distances? Apart from this, I have a doubt why people are importing oil from other countries when it is found in INDIA itself. Few corrupted politicians tied up with business people are illegal by taking false permissions are transferring oil to other countries and making money. If at all we can control this action, we almost met our goals of reducing its price.
I have even got another idea. It's like we have escalators to go from one floor to another and we have flyovers for convenient passage of cars. Merging these two why don't we have moving roads wherein one can travel nearby places without a vehicle instead of having a pedestrian.
By these ways, we can reduce oil price by 60%.
Thank you.

In my opinion, We could deal with High oil prices by following means:.
1. Though electric and solar vehicles market is not so developed in a country like India. Try to use electric vehicles which are available in India like an electric scooter, solar two wheelers.
2. Don't use vehicles which are above 10 years old. As these are consuming more oil and also causing environmental pollution.
3. Govt should explore the alternate form of energy like solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, tidal energy for lowering consumption of oils.
4. Govt should incentivise peoples for using solar cells for pumping water, using solar energy in generator instead of diesel.
5. Walking to nearby places without using any two wheeler for less consumption of oil. It will indirectly also helps in physical activity.
6. Govt should ban high oil consuming vehicles like a sports car, SUVs etc.
7. Using public transport, share auto, share taxis, metro can reduce sufficient amount of oil consumption.
8. India should explore options where the cost of oil import will be reduced.
Thank you.

In my point of view, oil prices are rising because of using large vehicles and factories which run with help of oil. In order to decrease the oil prices, we should move to solar, electrical and wind technologies.
Moreover using this oils will produce toxic gasses which damaging the ecosystem.

Yes, of course, we know that there is the countineous growth of population. If we increase the use of oil which leads to air pollution Which causes the air pollution and environmental impact. Use the public transport facilities for the short distance rather than a personal vehicle. Which make the little bit contribution for the prevention of environment impact on the living being. Also, there is the responsibility of government to reduce the tax on the oil and provide new technology to manufacture the less discharging smoke Vehicle. Due to limited stock of natural resources available, we have to take care of future. And so make optional for the natural resources.

I think, first of all, government of our country should take initiative by putting some kind of pressure on e&p (exploration and production) companies so that they can explore the country and find out more producing oilfield so that the country don't import crude oil from exporting countries and due to this thing the people out their, who are being effected have to face or pay the final rise in price of crude oil. Overall I mean to say our PM words "MAKE IN INDIA".
Secondly, we people should also think and take initiative by using public transport unless using our own vehicles so that the fuel consumption would decrease.

Good Day Friends.
Oil prices are reaching sky high in India day by day. What is the reason behind this? In the last decade, oil prices have not just gone up but it has gone up by more than twice of how much it was. What can be the reason? Bird's eye view of this is that the oil reserves are getting absorbed and exhausted. This not really is the reason. This hike has happened over a period of time. Just take the Law of demand and supply! Demand and supply are directly proportional i.e. Higher the demand, higher the supply. With respect to price, Higher the demand, higher is the price and lower the demand, lower will be the price and apparently the supply. It all started with the mass usage of automobiles in our country. It would only be apt to say, India's automobile usage is indiscriminate which has made the demand for oil high and eventually the prices have shot up. It all starts with us! We have to take the initiative to enlighten our co-citizens to make use of public transport in place of their own vehicles and to use bicycles for short distances. The youth of our nation can inspire the people in a positive way to impact the oil prices.

HI friends, my opinion is oil prize is increased because due to the infrastructure of govt more of the case the traffic jam due to poor conditions of the road and sometimes the govt broken the road. If the roads are jam free than I am100% we are saving oil about 4-5%.
Thanks.
Thanks.

India is considered in the list of developing countries of the world. And also one of the highest populated country after China, so it is obvious that we have a lack of resources that is one of the factors to make the country to be called developed. Among these resources, oil is one of the powerful factor for any developing country as a source of energy which we can obtain easily and use it, rather than any other form of energy such as solar energy, tidal energy, wind energy, hydel energy which are not obtained in good amount and we don't have fully developed technology so that is reached to common people's. And apart these are costlier than oil.
Some of the following ways can lead us to minimise the use of oil so as to decrease the high rising oil price.
1. In regard to oil consumption, if we will have a good amount of oil then it's obvious that oil price will go down. For these, our government should find other's alternative source of importing rather than importing from the same country and also inbuilt to find the source of oil itself in our country.
2. Indian government should work on the alternative source of energy production. Rather than relying only on oil and should create an opportunity for research scholar to work on these type of projects. As we have a hub of Intelligent Scientist and only they need an opportunity to work.
3. Use of public transport rather than using own vehicle.
4. Use of eco-friendly vehicles that is running CNG is also a good option to remove oil consumption.
5. Use of solar energy for home lighting purpose and for small scale works which required less amount of energy.

Solution to any problem is within the problem. We know that we can't achieve anything until or unless we don't make any efforts for that problem. So it's not only the government who should take care of all the mishappenings in India. We are also part of this country and many
of you must be thinking what we can do for that, how can we be a part of solving that issue.
This can be done in following ways:
- Guys opt for CNG vehicles rather than petrol/diesel variant.
- Carpooling is not a bad idea.
- Rather than why not use a Public Transport.
- Get your vehicles maintained regularly (because more unmaintained the vehicle more consumption of oil i.e. more demand so more hike in price.
My personal experience doesn't fuel your tank in multiples of Rs 10 or 5 (they have all settled for that) opt for 90, 198, 297 it will help for sure.
-And last not the least never sit back and wait for things to happen, make it happen after all you are the one who has to suffer the consequences, not the government (especially Indian government).
