LPG Retrofitment would reduce the engine performance/pick-up by 10-15% & engine life by 5% or a little more (depending upon the LPG Kit, Retrofitment/Workmanship Quality, Maintenance etc.). Besides, it would reduce the mileage of your car, say from 14 to 12, but the running cost would be economical as compared to petrol for obvious reason.
Like-wise, CNG would reduce the performance/pick-up by 20-55% & engine life by 10%. It would increase the mileage of your car, say from 14 to 16 & the running cost would be much more economical as compared to Petrol & LPG.
In the case of Diesel, though the running cost isn’t as cheap as CNG & LPG, it’s quite economical as compared to Petrol – more than 50%. The biggest advantage is that you don’t lose engine performance/power & life. By the way, Diesel engines are very refined these days & maintenance cost too is only a little more than Petrol’s.
I would recommend Swift Diesel or Indica Vista QJD. Getz diesel is also a good car. Test-drive these cars with family, and finalise the one that suits your budget & other preferences well.
Honesty is not a Spare Wheel that you pull out when in trouble. It's a Steering Wheel that keeps you on the right path throughout the life's journey.
