2. Tested?
According to the carmaker, the Lovato CNG kit is factory-tested and calibrated to ensure a refined drive quality and optimal efficiency.
3. Mileage
Citroen claims that this C3 CNG will deliver an efficiency of 28.1km/kg. While this is a claimed figure and not a tested one, it roughly translates to a running cost of Rs. 2.66 per kilometre.
