For a majority of car buyers in India, the fuel efficiency of the vehicle is one of the primary factors that help them pick one out of the numerous alternatives. Given the fuel costs are on the rise, it is going to be even more so. There was a time when consumers would prefer a diesel car over the petrol one owing to the wide gap in the cost of the two. But that is not the case anymore and the demand for petrol cars have significantly increased.
With the shift from BS-IV to BS-VI emission norms, most carmakers have come up with the upgraded versions of their existing models. This has affected the fuel efficiency of cars. There are some cars that are now more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
