While elaborating reasons behind this nation level high prices of petrol in city, Amol Bhedsurkar, president of the association said: “Higher transportation cost reflected into petrol prices.We have to collect petrol from Manmad depot, after that dealers have to pay toll and other charges which are responsible for highest fuel prices.”
Dealers collected fuel from Manmad, 320km from Parbhani, and one has to travel through four toll plazas to reach Parbhani. Petrol rates in Parbhani are higher by 0.65 paise than Aurangabad, which is around 200km away from Parbhani.That means people have to pay 0.65 paise more in between 200 km.
