The Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) have been trimming down the price of petrol and diesel consistently since past few weeks.The cut fuel purchase is such, that petrol has finally come below Rs 75-mark and diesel below Rs 70-level. There was a time when a litre of petrol was as expensive as Rs 92 in some cities, whereas diesel earmarked over Rs 81 a litre on the back of rising crude oil prices. However, international brent crude has been relaxed in past few weeks along with Indian rupee, which has given a breather to OMCs in reducing petrol and diesel prices. That said, how would you feel if you can earn free 5 litres of petrol on just making a Rs 100 purchase of this fuel. It would definitely will be a good news.
