Petrol 92 is up 41% since March to Rs 414 — what's your switch-to-hybrid number?

CPC's cost-reflective formula has pushed Petrol 92 Octane from Rs 293 in March to Rs 414 on 1 October, seven revisions in seven months. No subsidy drama this time, just the formula tracking global prices and the rupee, and petrol car owners quietly absorbing it fill-up after fill-up. One camp says this is exactly why a hybrid pays for itself fast now, even with the higher upfront tax and the eventual battery bill down the line, because fuel savings alone close the gap within a few years of normal city driving. The other camp says the math still doesn't work for anyone running an older petrol car they already own outright, or buying budget-end where the hybrid premium and resale uncertainty eat the savings, and that selling a working car to chase fuel economy is its own kind of loss. If you've actually run the numbers on your own car, what was your monthly fuel bill before and after this hike, and did it change your plans on your next vehicle? ඔයාගේ වාහනයේ පෙට්‍රල් වියදම මාසෙකට කීයක් වැඩි වුණාද?
