PATNA: Fearing a surge in fuel prices due to record increase in the rate of international crude oil and after the assembly election results in 5 states on Thursday, the residents have been rushing to the petrol stations to refuel their vehicle tanks to the brim and also stocking up petrol and diesel.
There has been 25-40% rise in the demand of petrol and diesel in the last one week, said the officials of state oil companies. Crude prices have broken 14 years record and reached around $130 per barrel and it may rise further if the Russia-Ukraine crisis drags on.
