Why different rates in each city?
The reason for the different petrol rate in every city is the tax. Actually, the tax rate of different states is different. At the same time, according to every city, there are taxes of municipal corporations, municipalities also, which are also called local body tax. Apart from this, sometimes the tax is also different due to transport. Like there are many places, where it is very difficult to reach oil from the refinery. In such a situation, the price of petrol can be high there.

Prices are fixed every morning
