1.Oil/petrol is one of the most wanted commodity not only in india but in the world and we are one among the highest consumers of oils ..oil as we know is a naturally occuring luquid which is found beneathe the earth surace and unfortunately we have very few oil reserves...so mostly we import it ie we buy it indollers ...and since the rupee is at the all time low to dollar ...the oil prices seems to be more higher...

If we can increase our economy by getting more bizness to india/reducing corruption/encouraging FDI and thereby strengthing the economy our rupee value will be higher against dollar and hence we will have to pay less amount to buy oil thats possibly one way to deal it...but for long term the best possible way is to reduce the population and this can only be achieved by increasing the literacy rate so that ppl can learn abt family planning and cons of having a large family...

If we can reduce the population then LESS POPULATION=LESS VEHICLES=LESS USAGE OF OIL=LESS IMPORT=LESS OIL PRICES=HAPPY INDIA

2.Government alone is not responsible for the oil price rise, increase in demand is also a reason. The use of public transport is not a feasible solution, one way to cope with the issue is to find an alternative of the fuel, as an engineer we can do this in a better way instead of wasting our time by giving comments on government, Politicians etc.

3.Hello friends. I respect your views but in my opinion controlling the oil prices is just not in our hand. Only government can do it. We, the people of India have become more quality concious and want to have a luxurious life. Who doesn't want to have a car or Bike?

When there is a huge demand of these fuel consuming devices, the govt also sees a lot of profit on this sector. It also knows whatever increment happens in fuel prices. People will never leave using their vehicles.

The only way we can control is by using our vehicles efficiently and effectively. We can't have a control on fuel prices but of course we can have a check on the way how we misspend it.

The only people who suffer are Middle n poor class people. And of course the fuel prices will definitely come down when this present governments term is going to end so that they can buy votes.
