Price of gas is $3.00 per gallon in India. This price is to go up by 8% in the near future. Part of the reason for the price is high duties levied by the government. 2/3 rd of India's consumption of petroleum products is imported. The government tries to limit imports by levying high duties as India's foreign exchange reserves are only $20 billion. The price is the same for 87 through 93 octane varieties.
