Motorists have marked their dissent against the government for the spiralling fuel prices, calling it "even worse than the UPA-era". Demands have been raised against the Centre to bring down the excise rates, in order to negate the impact of rising crude oil prices, which is currently hovering at around $70 per barrel.
