 | Two questions:1. My car is euro III (2006) Indica turbo diesel done about 22000 kms till now. Is pollution check is a must. The car is giving nearly 18 to 20 Kms/lts on an average even in Mumbai town with AC.2. I use turbo jet or similar diesel ever since I bought the car. The authorised dealer tells me use ordinary diesel. What should I do? |

 | I own a Maruti 800 car. I wish to go for new car and the budget would b around 4.5 to 5 lakhs. I have run around 60000 kms in 6 years. I run around 1000 kms every month in both city as well as out of the town drives. I am looking at LPG car option. Is it ok, bcos, too many people r making me afraid of the fuel type itself. R should i go for Diesel like Ritz r Ford Figo. An earliest reply would b highly appreciated. |
