Petrol Prices Have Been Slashed By 1 Paisa & Twitter Doesn’t Know What To Do With The Savings

Unless you’ve been driving a rock Flinstone style, you’ll probably know that a massive fuel price hike was imposed upon the country. Prices soared to over ₹ 80/litre for petrol and ₹ 70/litre for diesel. However, after a 16-day continuous rise, the Indian Oil Corporation announced that the price has actually been lowered. By one paisa!

While the ‘one paisa cut’ was enough to enrage everyone, IOC rubbed salt into their wounds with a small blunder. When they first announced the cut, they said that petrol and diesel will be reduced by 60 paise and 59 paise respectively. And as they had to backtrack to the actual one paisa cut, people felt absolutely insulted.

Here are some of the best reactions:

1. So adorable.

2. Moms are always right.

3. Bhaari foreshadowing!

5. Keep looking.

6. Info-graphics incoming!

7. The possibilities are finite.

8. Shock laga laga laga shock laga!

9. Well, there you go.

10. Sell it back to the petrol companies.

11. Best. Idea. Ever!

It’s certainly irritating for people who have diligently paid their taxes, only to be harassed at the hands of such shortcomings. However, as nothing can be done at the moment, maybe these memes will give the desi junta some relief until the powers that be can come up with a permanent solution.
