As the federal government hiked up petrol prices by Rs30, Netizens are coping with the situation the way they always do. With memes.
As petrol sits at Rs209.86 per liter people are reeling from yet another price hike. There was an Rs30 hike last week.
Many people rushed to fueling stations to fuel up before the price hike comes into effect, or worse, another price hike.
Some Netizens even calculated their monthly budget to emphasize the price difference.
Of course, there was the age-old coping mechanism of humor for deflection. That’s how the petrol meme fest spurred on Twitter.

Others pointed out how oil prices were a problem, not just petrol prices. After all, having a car has become a luxury on its own.

In short people reminisced better days, a time when the price of the rupee was in double digits and so was petrol.
