Mr. Mitra,
* for water it costs you from 6 to 8 QR according to the type of water you choose
* There is a package from Qtel called Mosaic gives you land line and internet + cable T.v Channels for maximum 250 QR and you can choose hindi Package with addition of 25 - 50 QR mor per month
* gas cylinder costs 15 - 25 QR according to place you buy from
* cars are very variable in prices according to what is your need in your family car so you can find a suzuki Alto car for 30,000 QR with monthly payment of 600 QR or Nissan Sunny for almost 50,000 QR with monthly payment of 900 QR or other marks like Kia or Hyundi

The only reason i can anticipate for someone looking for such info is that you are evaluating a job offer, whether to accept or not.

If this is the case, my sincere advise is, do not look at such minute details. Consider the major cost items only and that is, house rent and school fees, enquire from the employer about these, will they cover these or not and make your decision based on that.

If you start look at minute details such as cost of water!, you won't get anywhere
