Meet the supercar owners who're complaining about sky high petrol prices

Prices of fuel in India are continuously increasing. Because of this, the general public is quite upset. However, now even some of the rich people have expressed their concerns regarding the high petrol prices. Here are a few owners of supercars that have shared their experiences of driving their supercars after the prices of fuel increased. One thing to note is that supercars have less fuel efficiency when compared to the regular cars that common people use.

Prithvi Roychowdhury is the owner of two supercars and a hotelier by profession. He used to go out on short trips with his friends every weekend on his supercars. However, in the past year, he has stopped doing these trips so frequently. Prithvi also uses refined fuel for his supercars that cost Rs. 130 per litre. He said, “While the pandemic has been one of the reasons, the ever-increasing price of fuel is another. It hurts when you have to pay a fortune for petrol. You can imagine the cost every time I refill the 75-litre tank”.

Parveen Aggarwal who is a realtor is the owner of five supercars. He has to spend around Rs. 10,000 whenever he decides to refuel his supercars. He said, “It’s not a question of whether I can afford it or not, but spending Rs 10,000 every time I refuel my cars is definitely not something desirable.”

Anirudh Agarwal bought his supercar in 2019. At that time the fuel prices were Rs. 80 per litre but back then also he used refined or premium fuel. He says, “I used refined fuel, which was more expensive than regular petrol but still affordable. Now it costs around Rs 150 a litre. I used to go on short trips three to four times a week, but now I do it once a week,” Anirudh is a businessman and a student.

The situation of fuel prices is so bad that we are currently paying more than what people pay in the USA and UK. This information was revealed by a person who wants to stay anonymous. He said, “I can’t help but feel a bit jealous when I talk to my friend in the US and the UK. They are paying half for fuel and investing that money in car accessories. When you have a good car, you want to make it better and they are doing it.”
