High fuel prices have pushed people to buy compressed natural gas (CNG) cars, as they are not only environmentally friendly, they are also lighter on the pocket as they are cheaper to maintain and reduce the cost per kilometre.
CNG cars have become quite common over the years and are no longer limited to small cars only. Moreover, you don’t have to go for third-party installations as companies have started to offer CNG variants themselves.
