    There should also be protests for toll collection. In less than 2 years, 5 toll gates/plazas have come up near Mangalore (within 50km)- Brahamarakotlu, NITK, Hejmady, Talapady and now even Belman. To add to the distress, toll rates at NITK have been hiked with effect from 1st April. Clearly Mangaloreans are not having 'acche din' when it comes to road transportation.

    1 lit petrole in goa is 65 Rs
    and in Karnataka 75 Rs

    where these 10 Rs going?
    every day almost 2 crore liter petrole is selling in karnataka.
    even if we deduct 1000 crore sent to high command still there is huge amount will pending

    Better you settle down in Goa where you will find Rs 10 less per litre petrol also you can enjoy with Goa Fenny with Pork Sausages & Grilled Beef.

    shibhu ,

    The Central govt has different taxes, which amount to about 24-26% of the final cost. The state's taxes vary, but on average end up making about 20-25% of the final cost. As a result, approximately about 47% of the fuel cost goes to govt in form of different taxes, which is the main contributor to the price of Fuels in India.
    Price in Goa is lesser because of there the govt. reduced the state taxes on petrol and increased taxes on pubs and bars.

    Dealer profit is about ----------1-2 %
    Sales tax by central govt-- 24-26%
    State taxes ---------------------20-25%
    total taxes---------------------- ~47%

    This is the reason petrol cost vary among different states.
    By using above percentages you can do calculation on the current petrol/diesel prices.

    Liquor is not a necessity, one can do without it or go for our own swadeshi brand that is available much cheaper. Only those will be affected who consider serving liquor in wedding halls is a matter of prestige.
