hector0285 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 With the latest increase in petrol prices its very difficult to buy petrol cars ,which i very much like to do but it does not make any sense econimically but there are so many good cars which are only available in petrol version , the cars which i personally like to own but wont is due to its TYPE OF FUELUSED IN IT . 1) honda crv 2) honda accord 3) mistu outlander 4) SKODA LAURA TSI (LPG when you travel and PETROLwhen the racer in you needs that dose of instant speed) As every one knows diesel vechile cost a little more to buy and to maintain but cheap to run than petrol but if the petrol vechile gets LPG/CNG option it wont cost more to buy nor maintain nor run them . IF SOME ONE FROM HONDA ARE SEEING THIS PLEASE LAUNCH LPG HONDA CRV I WILL BE THE THE FIRST ONE TO BUY ONE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarabjeet 3 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 @hector I just recently bought a 2007 Civic and decided to use it on petrol ( i am a diesel guy) but the 68 rs a ltr was a shocker so converted my Civic to CNG today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarabjeet 3 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Converting a Honda to run on LPG (even more so CNG) is sacrilege in my view. Why would it be that? Considering that Honda it self has CNG/LPG varients available globally. Its indian mentality to shun alternate fuels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hector0285 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 i dont think using 30 % lesspower will effect anybody much as it is doing you good indirectly as cng/lpg are less polluting and hence saving the planet and at the same time saving your pocket from a big hole i dont think anybody are using their car engines to 100% efficiency .

Brn2Crz 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 I have a 2L engine with dual fuel capabilities. The cng tank holds 13 cubic meters which gives me 150k in the city at less than half the cost of petrol. There is little difference in power that you can feel. The real difference is in the cost per kilometer. It's less than half petrol. I use the cng in the city and petrol on the freeway. This link breaks it down pretty well for India. http://www.cartradeindia.com/car-bike-news/petrol-diesel-cng-or-lpg-we-help-you-choose-111207.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
