Why is there such a big difference?
The price of petrol and diesel is not the same across the country. Apart from central tax, VAT, local tax and other charges of state governments also play an important role in determining the price. Apart from this, prices may vary from city to city due to changes in the prices of oil companies and local level charges. This is the reason why the difference in prices of petrol and diesel in the country sometimes reaches Rs 20 to Rs 30 per liter.
