Just few days before Leh trip these buggers increase price around 8%. That means around 500 bucks more in petrol cost.

Hahahaha....so what you want to do after rationing so much of petrol/diesel. I know that 'the rupee save is the rupee earn'. But in this way

All the best who already filled the tanks and for others "Don't worry this will not make any hole on your pockets if you miss the early chance, its like you just missed the veg plate of momos (as said by YS)".

i only felt pity on those who would really wants to store a tank full of petrol/diesel but missed the chance

Enjoy riding as always
