We Indians want more with less investment. This is a fact and can’t be ignored at all. But what more can be given when it comes to four wheelers. Toping the need would be mileage of course. Carmakers are bringing in new options that provide impressive mileage. At one hand it is known that diesel vehicles have better fuel efficiency but with improvement in technology, petrol cars are able to deliver better fuel economy. On the other side, narrow price difference between both fuels has brought back petrol cars into the limelight.
So take a look at the cars that claim to return efficient mileage.

Having a 624cc, two cylinder petrol engine churning out 38PS and 51Nm, the car has come a long way and marks a mileage at 23.1km/l.
