    Solution

    Here, the superlative degree should not be used. We are comparing prices of petrol and diesel only. So, ‘lowest’ should be changed to ‘lower’. In the early days, cars were considered luxury goods and high excise duty was levied on petrol, but it was lower on diesel to make it cheaper for the essential needs of transport.
