We can also use CNG because that is cheaper than petrol and also it causes less pollution.
Also, there are some government laws which influence the purchase of the vehicles. Talking about the US government, they h

Alright, so fuel the modes of fuel that we have diesel, petrol, CNZ or even electric vehicles. For me as a driver, I've been driving
curvy roads. So in that case a CNC. Vehicle a hatchback CNG vehicle won't. Or even some petrol engines which are which don'

Can you share any past experiences where fuel considerations played a significant role in your vehicle purchase decision?
OK, in a purchase, so I haven't bought any vehicles, but I have been part of a lot of discussions with my family, were planning t

CNG vehicles. That are there so. If, if it's company fitted then it's fine. But if you fit a CNC in your car, in a hatchback or a sedan
these are. The reasons? For you to purchase a car.

How do you perceive the reliability and effectiveness of automated fuel saving features compared to traditional methods?
Right. So.
Fuel features you. Mean to say electronic electric vehicles, right?
EV hydrogen, etcetera.
Alright, so I think as I said earlier, I don't think electric vehicles are the future. So I think for us to have a sustainable future or s
electric vehicles I think they do have better fuel efficiency, fuel economies. Let's let's suppose for hybrid vehicles and for the fo

10. I changed my fuel lines, and fuel pump to run only E85.
