There are many friends out who are happy with their cars but not loving that extra mile loss in mileage when their petrol machines are eating up petrol, with that almost hammering petrol price, specially in parts of Mumbai.
Well here I have done some digging on it and hopefully this will help make your decision on what can be done to your car(here its Accent) for an additional alternate fuel so that you can breathe easy when you are driving the distances.
Have divided the text in three parts, viz. Petrol / LPG / CNG.
Hope this helps you make a right choice in the end.
Petrol
====
Avg: 11.44
Rs. per covered Km: 6.03/-
Installation Cost= 0.00
CNG Rs. 34000 > Accent 5638 kms@34000 rupees of Petrol(petrol price considered as 69.00/ltr)
LPG Rs. 18000 > Accent 2984 kms@18000 rupees of Petrol(petrol price considered as 69.00/ltr)
Running Analysis of 2000 kms
-
2000/11.44*69.00= Rs. 12062
