CNG cars are known to give better mileage compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. But if you’re not getting the expected fuel efficiency, it may be time to check a few things.
Follow these 6 simple tips to improve your CNG car’s mileage and save more money.
1/6 – Get Regular Servicing
To get good mileage from a CNG car, regular servicing is a must.
Make sure the engine is well-tuned, the CNG kit is checked every 6 months, and the air filter is clean. Also, take care of the spark plugs for better performance.
2/6 – Improve Your Driving Style
How you drive has a big impact on mileage. Avoid high speeds and frequent braking.
Try to maintain a steady speed and avoid keeping the engine on when stuck in traffic for a long time. Turning off the engine for long stops can save fuel.
3/6 – Fill CNG the Right Way
Always fill gas at the right time. Let the automatic cut-off happen instead of forcing more gas in.
Avoid filling during the hottest part of the day—early morning or late night is better, as gas density is higher when temperatures are cooler.
4/6 – Limit AC Usage
Just like petrol and diesel cars, using AC in a CNG car can lower mileage by 15–20%. Only use AC when needed.
Open the windows first to let the hot air out, then turn on the AC if required.
5/6 – Avoid Overloading the Car
The heavier the car, the more fuel it uses. Remove anything unnecessary from the car to reduce weight. Less load means better mileage.
6/6 – Try Car Pooling
For short daily trips, consider car pooling. It reduces overall fuel use and can help you get better mileage. It’s also a smart and eco-friendly way to travel.
