Most common question in everyone’s mind is to purchase petrol car or Diesel car. Here is the conclusion for that.
This might give you the best solution for everything.
Think about your monthly usage
Your budget
Here is the example which can clear your dilemma.
I am taking the example of Tata Tiago
Mileage: Diesel: 27.28 ( Rs. 59.65 Diesel Price at the time of this review) Petrol: 23.84( Rs. 69.18 Petrol Price at the time of this review)
Above mentioned mileage is as per ARAI. Actuals may differ.
If the average usage per month is 2000kms(24000 kms per year), its comes like
Diesel: 24000/27.28= 880 Litres = Rs. 880x 59.65= Rs. 52, 492/-
Petrol: 24000/23.84= 1007 Litres = Rs. 1007x69.18= Rs. 69, 664/-
The price difference per year is Rs. 17, 172/-
And the most common known fact is Diesel car is always 1 lakh higher than Petrol car.
In that case 1, 00, 000/17172= 5.82 years to equal the saving made on the initial purchase of the car.
Key Points.
Diesel car is always one lakh higher than petrol cars.
If you go for loan you will be charged interest for that extra one lakh and also the monthly EMI will be Rs. 1000 to Rs. 1250(approx) more than the petrol cars.
Maintenance costs of Diesel cars are generally higher than petrol cars
Petrol version cars will have more powerful engine and has better acceleration.
Initial down payment for petrol car is lesser compared to diesel cars.
The review is on my personal opinion. Hope this would clear most of the doubts.
