Simple Calculation – How ₹15 Extra Crude Cost Becomes ₹10-12 at Pump

Let’s understand with easy maths (same as experts use)

1 barrel crude oil = 159 litres

Crude rise = $108 – $82 = $26 per barrel

Increase per litre in dollar = $26 ÷ 159 = $0.163

Dollar rate = ₹90

So extra cost per litre = 0.163 × 90 = ₹14.67 (almost ₹15)

Now, oil companies pass 70-80% of this to retail price.

₹15 × 70-80% = ₹10.5 to ₹12 per litre hike.

Current Kolkata petrol ₹105.41 + ₹10-12 = ₹115-117.

If crude goes higher to $120 or $150, petrol can easily cross ₹125-130 in Kolkata.
