Suggestion Needed I have a Matiz Its a 2000 year

Dear Ruchit,

Your getting a mileage of 13 with A/c in a city driving condition shows a lot about the good way in which you drive.

A Matiz can give 15/ 16 too in city condition and can go as high as 20+ on the highways. It has a superb fuel efficient engine.

My recommendation to you is since your car is already a 9 year old used car, avoid converting from motor spirit to CNG at this juncture. CNG tends to reduce the car pick up , which for a Matiz is already a bit sluggish.

Moreover it will not increase any mileage in your car sustantially. It will only help you reduce your cost of fuel by a good margin. If you plan to use this car for just another 2/3 years at an average of 800 kms a month, then you may not recover the cost of the Gas Kit that you fit.

Moreover , the resale of all Daewoo Motors/ Matiz is a big question. So you may not even end up getting a sound price for your extra fitment.

I agree with Ruchit. Think of selling your Matiz - see what you can get for your car and try to sell it. Think of going for another already converted second hand vehicle...

Hi,
Fitting CNG to Matiz wont be a good idea as it may increase the maintenance problems that too with bit difficulty in getting spares for Matiz.

However I''' think over ur suggestions and let c, i might just continue with only petrol..
