Which is better petrol or CNG?

Both CNG, as well as petrol, have their pros and cons depending upon the parameter. The ways through which a fuel can be studied are:

Performance : Petrol leading this hands down. An engine running on petrol has more power as compared to its counterpart.

Economy: Considering the price of petrol and CNG petrol is a less economic solution. The cost of petrol per liter is more as compared to the other fuel. Added to that is the cost of long term CNG vehicles is more as compared to the petrol car. Yet doing the math and adding all the affecting factors CNG is about Rs. 3-4 per Km cheaper than its rival fuel.

Pollution: Petrol emits more harmful gases like Nox and Cox, on the other hand, CNG is more known for producin g reduced harmful gases but emitting less harmful Greenhouse gasses.

Convenience: The worst drawback of CNG is the reduced boot space to accommodate the huge CNG cylinder. CNG as a fuel is not available everywhere. Installation may lead to a change in the vehicle dynamics of the vehicle.

Safety: Because CNG is safe but not as safe as petrol. Being a gas it is more prone to leakage and catching fire.

CNG vs Petrol vs Diesel vs Electric vehicle

A person in the current world going out to buy a car has 4 powertrain options (i.e CNG, petrol, diesel, and an EV), and buying a vehicle is one of the most crucial decisions of one’s life.

The first and foremost reason affecting the car buying decision is the kilometers running per day of the car maintenance cost is also a big factor.

This is where the Diesel vehicles take a step back. Having high maintenance and the introduction of BS6 has made diesel vehicles even more expensive.

For petrol and CNG it's a kind of a mixed bag. A vehicle running on petrol has a low overall buying cost and low maintenance . The difference is because of the prices of the fuels.

This is where a CNG vehicle comes. A petrol engine can easily run on a CNG fuel with minor tweaks. Having nearly the same maintenance and buying cost as petrol and fewer fuel costs CNG fairs as low investment and is friendly to the pocket to some extinct.

After the enlightenment about the environment EV makes much more sense for a person daily commuting from home to his/her workplace. EV is low running and maintaining costs. The buying price is where this fails. Being a new concept it is more expensive than any other car type.

Fuel Prices
CNG: Rs. 55.00/Kg
Petrol: Rs 100.58 per liter
Diesel: Rs 85.01 per litre

3. Cars running on CNG have fewer NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) levels.

4. The overall running cost of the vehicle is considerably low.

5. It is necessary to check whether the person installing the CNG kit is using the right and genuine CNG kits.
