I have base calculation considering the 10, 000km driving yearly petrol vs diesel car and come with the options as follows.
The factors I have considered as follows.
Petrol car price is less by 1Lakh compare to diesel car
Petrol average is around 17km/ltr
Diesel average is around 20km/ltr
Petrol price on average - Rs. 69/ltr
Diesel price on average - Rs. 45/ltr
Petrol maintenance car - Rs. 3000/per annum
Diesel maintenance car - Rs. 9000/per annum
The below table gives details & cost of the cars.
Now I come to conclusion that to recover the cost of diesel car we need around 7 to 8 years so my suggestion is go for petrol car if you want to keep your car for more than 8 years go for diesel car.
