      Interestingly, the vital aspect while choosing a car is to determine its usage. If the car is being purchased for only recreation purposes and is to be utilised for the odd trip some time, it is better to go for a petrol variant. As per the statistical data, it is better to opt for petrol models, if your kilometre count is less than 500 per month. Average owners, who plan to clock approximately 500 to 1000 kilometres every month should go for CNG cars on most occasions. LPG can be optimum for LPG-powered models. However, for those drivers, who are planning for a heavy usage for their cars might have the best use if choosing a diesel variant. This is the primary factor when looking to opt for petrol, CNG or a diesel car.

      When it comes to the driving options for cars, the choosing criteria is comparatively easier. On an average, most cars give a better mileage on highways as compared to city roads, primarily because of unpredictable gear shifts on urban roads. Customers who are looking to use their on highways mainly, it is better to go for diesel models. Likewise, if the car is going to be used for a mix and match of urban city driving as well as on highways, going for CNG or LPG variants will be the best. However, petrol models are best when the car is to be solely used for city usage. Once you have decided on the nature of usage for your car, it becomes quite easy to choose a particular variant.
