New Delhi. India is a price sensitive market and this is the reason that there is a large number of customers who prefer to take vehicles with diesel powertrain instead of petrol. The big reason for this is savings. Customers want them to save well in fuel cost in long run. If you are also confused that which of both diesel or petrol is better for you, then today we remove your confusion.
We will do a calculation in this article with a 30 -km daily running, on the basis of which you can do a later personalized calculation based on the needs of daily running.
Suppose a diesel car gives a mileage of 20 km/liter and a petrol car gives a mileage of 15 km/liter.
Diesel car (20 km/liter): 30 km/day ÷ 20 km/liter = 1.5 liters/day
Petrol car (15 km/liter): 30 km/day ÷ 15 km/liter = 2 liters/day
Diesel Car: 1.5 x 30 = 45 liters
Petrol Car: 2 x 30 = 60 liters
Annual fuel cost
Diesel Car: 45 x 12 = 540 liters
Petrol Car: 60 x 12 = 720 liters
Fuel cost calculation
Suppose the price of diesel is Rs 90 per liter and the price of petrol is Rs 100 per liter (approx).
Annual fuel cost
Diesel Car: 540 x 90 = 48,600 rupees
Petrol Car: 720 x 100 = 72,000 rupees
Savings in a year on diesel compared to petrol car: Rs 72,000 – Rs 48,600 = Rs 23,400
