Metal prices, including Gold and Silver are coordinated at the global level. With minor fluctuations, gold and silver cost almost the same in different countries.
But in case of black liquid gold - Petrol, the prices vary so much across nations, mainly due to the Government excise and tax rates and subsidies for fuel.
When the crude oil peaked to $150 per barrel in the United States in year 2008, the price of petrol per liter was increased to INR 50 in India.
But within months, when the price again dropped to $70-80 (by around 50%) per barrel in the US, it was decreased by only around 20% (to INR 40 per liter) in India.
And today, when the price of crude is still in the $90-100 range (per barrel) in the US, here in India we are being charged INR 63 per liter.


Unlike in India, crude oil is priced almost the same across several countries

But now, a car far above these cars in terms of looks, speed and luxury is ready to say "Namaste India", and that's Bugatti Veyron from the Volkswagen Group.

For men, watches and eye glasses are more than just a requirement. These are their style statements and so are priced from a few dollars to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But paying high price for stylish eye-glasses is not always necessary, and that's what is seen at Zenni Opticals.
Today, while going through Eric's Review of Zenni Optical , I came to know what all am I missing all these years by not purchasing my eye wear at Zenni. Their eye glasses start from as low as $8.00 which include not only the basic designs but many stylish frames too. And anyone can find the design of their interest anywhere in the range $8.00-$40.00 easily. The website is professionally designed with eye glasses categorized according to price, frame material, design, women's/men's wear, goggles and new arrivals. Designs vary from rimless, half/full frame, titanium, acetate, stainless steel or mixed metals based eye glasses. Moreover rather than charging $20-$100 for additional features like anti-reflective coating and sunglass color tint, they charge just $4.95. Moreover their shipping charges are also limited to just $4.95 regardless of the quantity of your order.
So, what are you waiting for? Head on to Zenni Opticals and select the one that suits the best, at the lowest possible price.
