Petrol, Diesel or CNG: Which Fuel Should You Choose?

A practical way to decide based on how far you drive each month, where you drive, and how long you plan to keep the car.

By Super Admin ·

Choosing a fuel type is mostly a question of distance. The more you drive, the more a lower running cost matters.

Petrol

Lowest purchase price, smooth and quiet. Best if you drive under about 1,000 km a month, mostly in the city.

Diesel

Higher purchase price but strong torque and good highway efficiency. Makes sense for long-distance drivers. Check local rules on the age limit for diesel vehicles in your city.

CNG

The lowest running cost per kilometre in cities with a good CNG network. You give up some boot space and a little performance.

Compare the CNG cars and diesel cars on sale to see the price difference for the same model.
