CNG and LPG prices
About 14.2Kg LPG comes in a domestic LPG cylinder. Now the cost of cylinder has gone up to Rs 1000. That is, the price of LPG per kg is around Rs 71.

This is the reason why many people use LPG in petrol car to save money.
Car mileage with CNG and LPG
, The CNG cylinder used in the car has a capacity of about 10 kg. However, only up to 9 kg of CNG is used in it. This is so that there is no pressure on the cylinder. Sometimes filling more CNG in the cylinder increases the chances of it bursting. How many kilometers the car will run with CNG also depends on the engine of the car. For example, the CNG model of Maruti Celeria gives a mileage of 35Km/Kg. That is, there is 9 kg of CNG in the cylinder, then it can travel 315Km.
