This is not a common currency. When you multiply India’s Rs.48 by 2.8 its SL RS.134. I am no fan of Rajapakse and CPC is making a massive losses compared to counterparts in Asia who are making money. But let’s be fair on the facts. Govt does charge a high duty on petrol which they can reduce to make this affordable.

Hmm, not that people will listen to any of this but I’m pretty sure this is jack.

This seems like a US-ripoff email fwd. For example petrol in india is 48 in indian rupees, not sri Lankan rupees, and I’m pretty the loss figures are bull. But even if it was true, it’s a silly idea especially with respect to Sri Lanka. If CPC makes a loss (which it does, without any boycott), whos going to foot the bill at the end of the day? us. The idea although well-intended, is quite silly. (like with most well intended ideas perhaps)

I mean fine enough, Oil price is high and the govt is responsible. for some of it. I just had a post on it , but our protest shouldn’t be even more retarded than govt policy. Honking at noon or boycottin wont reduce the price of oil.
