These Are The Top 10 CNG Cars With The Best Mileage In India
Even though the cost of CNG has been on the rise, a CNG-powered vehicle is still likely to save you more money in the longer run than a petrol car
CNG cars are mainly associated with savings and a higher claimed mileage, while being regarded as a relatively cleaner fuel alternative. Today, many CNG-equipped cars claim to offer a high mileage, some of which are stated to deliver well over even 30 km/kg.
