Fuel Costs Surge: Car Owners Feel the Pinch
15 May
Summary
- Petrol prices are rising in metropolitan areas.
- CNG costs have also increased in Delhi and Mumbai.
- CNG cars remain more economical than petrol vehicles.
Car owners are currently facing increased expenses due to recent hikes in petrol prices across metropolitan areas. Simultaneously, compressed natural gas (CNG) costs have also seen an uptick, particularly affecting commuters in Delhi and Mumbai. For individuals covering approximately 1,000 kilometers monthly, these escalating fuel expenses translate to a noticeable additional cost, potentially ranging from a few hundred to several thousand rupees.
Despite these price adjustments, the economic advantage of CNG vehicles persists. Owning and operating a CNG-powered car continues to offer considerable savings when contrasted with the ongoing costs associated with petrol-driven automobiles. This ongoing trend highlights the persistent difference in running costs between the two fuel types for regular commuters.
