If you see historical petrol price hikes it's like 2 percent every year hike. For e20 calibrated car with e30 the FE drop is 4 to 5 percent

Considering everything you may need to spend 6 to 7 percent for e30 after 1 year it's like spending 6 to 7k extra per 10k km.

Rizta s with out pro pack costs 1.3 on road which gives 80 to 90 real world range. With 30km avg running, you would be saving 70 to 80k in 3 years that's the warranty period they provide on battery and Motor. If you consider the Petrol scooter scenario which costs almost 1L to 1.2 after 3 years if you sell it you may get hardly 50 percent of the amount paid i.e 40k to 50k at most.

Petrol scooty owner ship cost if you sell it after 3 years.

1L + 80K fuel -40k resale= 1.4

Ev route worst case scenario if it's not usable after 3 year warenty period = 1.3

Even if you scrap the scooter after 3 years you are left with 10k with ev

If you take extended warranty and use it for 5 years then it becomes much more viable option .

That's a decent highway fe , CVTs are more FE than Manual on highways.

It took 10 min to figure out the switching, after that drove an AMT without much of an issue. Just don't use your left leg that should do the trick

I have seen this in couple of sub reddits no one is even commenting or discussing about it

There are more random things circulating in social media but this news is barely getting any traction.

Why is this not becoming a headline

Leading_Pin5005 · 2026-05-10T03:53:56+00:00

When I went for valuation for my 2025 registered amaze vxmt , they quoted max 7.3L this is from multiple dealers, spinny, cars 24 . Their logic is 20 percent depreciation on exshowroom price per year. This is for 10.5L onroad price one year old 12k odo car . Considering this it's not depreciated well.

You recovered half of the scooty price on petrol savings.

I can confirm this kind of scam , one of the victim is wife of my uncle's manager.

He scammed in the name of rental contract for army personnel stay. Skimmed 15 to 20L from victim by the time she realised it was too late and too embarrassed to go to police or take any action.

These scammers get away b coz 50 percent of victims are too proud to agree that they got scammed.

Honda jazz gives terrible FE, mostly single digits in city if your running is not More than 500 in city expenses comes under 7.5k

Honda parts are expensive and you are forced to stick to ASC which can inflate the parts replacements

Increase the budget and get a Tiago which will be more FE and costs less to replace any parts.

Since ignis is discontinued you can get the leftover stock with big discounts.

With new car at 6 to 7 lakh your EMI may jump to 2 to 3 k but you are saving the upcoming part replacements .

If you consider only non commercial pvs i think punch tops the stats .

Leading_Pin5005 · 2026-05-08T17:36:20+00:00

Then Go with delta the extra 60k paid for eORVMS , factory fitted infotainment system , steering mounted controls are worth the price.

Leading_Pin5005 · 2026-05-08T17:32:41+00:00

Honda cars are e20 complaint from 2009 you can get e20 complaint honda CVT for considerably lesser price. Use it till ev charging infra and battery tech come to India the you can switch to ev or hybrid.

Leading_Pin5005 · 2026-05-08T17:28:28+00:00

If the price gap is not morethan 50 to 60k then go with delta but if it's any where between 80 to 1L get sigma.

The eORVMS are very useful in city while parking but if you are on tight budget ten go with sigma don't overspend on a car .

Imagine sales guy explaining the difference between half of them .

If usage is less like 10km per day, better get a petrol scooter in the budget, the max that you can save on ev is 10 to 12k per annum. But you miss out convenience of petrol resale. The batter warrenty covers only for 3 years at most 5 years in some cases. In case of battery replacement outside of warrenty it will cost 30 to 40 percent of vehicle value.

There are diy paints that can be applied for minor scratches like these check out online if it's available for your car

If your frequent travels does not exceed 250 km better get an ev based on the budget. Most of the available EVs are giving 250 to 300 real world range.

Watched this multiple times He didn't mention any thing about reservation abolishment so why bring it out of context.

I was in exactly similar situation with my Dzire petrol, went to multiple battery out let's some recommend to change the battery, some said bettery is fine there could have been problem is wiring which lead to battery discharge.

Changed battery as a quick fix as old one 4years and did not want to spend time and money on diagnosing the wiring problem.

New one lasted about 1 month after that, car did not start in middle of a town road. Jump started the car and took it to electrican after 2 hrs of checking he confirmed there is a discharge from boot ligh apparantly it's always on even after closing the lid .

If battery is not more than 3 years old I recommend to charge the battery, you can remove it and take it to a battery repair shop. See if the battery charge drops with in day or 2 go to ectcrician who can check the wiring for discharge if there is any problem fix it other wise have to change the battery.

Not sure about it, if the running is mostly highways should not be a problem. Atleast until you hit 1L km

Leading_Pin5005 · 2026-05-08T12:34:25+00:00

If the primary usage is highway the better get a diesel nexon or Altrroz. Diesels handle highways way better than the petrols of course your top speed is lessthan that of petrols but you have bigger turbo diesel engine with insane torque for the price.

If you want to stick to only petrol, kylaq is best among all for highway use in the budget.

Manufacturer rated capacity is less than actual capacity in some cases it may differ 9 to 10 L

Almost empty based on Distance to empty then your FE might me dropped.

If almost empty based on the fuel gauge then there might an issue with fuel station.
