60 paise to 1 paisa, petrol price cut sets social media on fire

From 'petrolled' to 'fuelonfire', social media users had a field day today with hash tags as petrol and diesel prices were cut by just one paisa, whereas the first announcement was a reduction of 60 paise.

Petrol and diesel prices have been sailing northwards for the past two weeks and today was the first time that the prices were cut.

However, the quantum of reduction of one paisa opened the floodgates criticism on the social media.

Twitter was flooded with hash tags and messages about the price cut, making fun of the situation.

'#petrolled', '#fuelonfire', '#petrolprice' and '#fuel' were among the hash tags trending on Twitter besides various memes.

One user posed a picture of long gone 5 paise coin, saying "My savings today after filling 5 litres of petrol".

Another user said, "I am going to invest it in mutual funds now."
