Petrol price
Petrol is a light fuel oil that is obtained by distilling crude petroleum and used as a fuel for vehicles running on internal combustion engines. Ever since its discovery, petrol, or Gasoline, plays a very important role in running the day to day economy of a country. The fuel has seen high demand in recent years.
The growing needs of the fuel have made humans explore various ways through which the fuel can be obtained from the natural environment for consumption.
There are basically two primary international crude oil benchmarks, Brent, or European benchmark and West Texas Intermediate (WTI), or American benchmark.
In India, petrol prices have been revised daily at 06:00 AM since June 2017. This method is called the dynamic Petrol price method.
