An another thing in cost of ownership is the cost advantage one gains in buying a diesel car to petrol car. Lot of times it is argued that diesel is cheap hence go for a diesel car. I find that except indica the price difference between a petrol model and a diesel model of the same specifications, the diesel is far more costly, so considering you have already paid almost a lakh for cars like lancer, for a person to breakeven the price difference will take 30k to 80k depending on the brands. Then is it worth for people who wish to buy it for keeping it for 2 to 4 years or others who drive less??
