This is not a concern. Paper below makes its clear that RON91 will have an impact on the fleet level fuel consumption. As development will be done with the market intended fuel, this should not be a significant concern. Seems like our govt has understood the technical implications while granting this deviation.

| ![]() Noob question. Will the BS6 be applicable to 2-wheelers as well? I was planning to buy a Kawasaki Versys 650 in the next month or so. Are these big bikes that cost 8L+ already compliant with BS6 level of emissions? Will it be more prudent to hold off the purchase for a year and wait for BS6 to be implemented and see if the manufacturer releases a new vehicle? I noticed a few comments above that says govt might cancel the registrations of BS4 vehicles. When might that be, if at all it comes to pass? I hope it's not applicable to vehicles purchased in the last 4-5 years before the new norms kick in. |

Like everyone , I am a bit skeptical about the ability of the government to bring in the new norms, but so far they seem to be on track. ![]() | |||

| ![]() I will also like to have 95RON petrol. As I said earlier we are getting BS-VI cars in India (also BS-VI fuels in the NCR). However, as per the current rules these vehicles cannot be registered as BS-VI. BS-VI compliant is not the same as BS-VI certified. Just a note of warning. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | ![]() With BS VI norms coming in shortly, Maruti and Suzuki have a bit of difference e in opinion on the future of diesel cars. The market trend will basically follow the Automotive Leader and could decide the fate of diesel cars. Maruti Suzuki: - Maruti’s talks with Suzuki include whether it should completely stop producing diesel cars in India - Suzuki favors stopping of diesel while Maruti's view differ as it perceives consumer demand sustaining, especially for the large SUV models. - Alternately the company wants to expand its offerings of cars that run on compressed natural gas (CNG), - Suzuki's 1.5-litre BS-VI diesel is not feasible to support its current product plans. - CNG and Hybrid variants to be added (estimates CNG cars will account for 12% of sales by 2022.) Quote:
Mahindra: Mahindra's have a more forgiving approach towards diesels. - Mahindra, which is heavily dependent on diesel vehicles, plans to start offering petrol engine options across its entire range( except Bolero) - Contemplating whether to stop making light commercial vehicles, comprising products which run on small, one-cylinder diesel engine - India’s second largest SUV maker will continue to offer diesel engines primarily because it feels consumer demand sustaining, - Having a petrol engine in the light commercial vehicle segment is not viable for operators owing to lower fuel efficiency compared with diesel.

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Im sick & tired of seeing people line up at CNG stations. Definitely in Mumbai the number of pumps aren't enough v/s the no. of CNG cars running around. Nowadays with Metro work going on, the queues add up to a lot of confusion & create bottle necks to an already crowded Mumbai. How about Maruti coming up with CNG pumps of its own to declutter / decongest the existing pump queues before just putting vehicles on streets. |

| ![]() Just yesterday, i was going through one article where it was written that Ford is also coming up with CNG version of Aspire sedan. It will not be a compromise on power. As is known fact that the power of vehicle reduces when it is being driven on CNG. But ford is bringing a technology where the power output would remain unaffected. Am sure that maruti would have got worried on hearing this. And they have again started this race of adding up CNG to its bestsellers. The brochure is already out on Ford official website. The good part about ford is the best build quality that they provide. Nobody knows that moving ahead, they might decide to plonk the same CNG technology into its Figo also. Just offtrack, WRT service cost, yesterday, i was going through one of the videos on youtube where a survey was conducted among the owners of different car brands. Sampling was done for approximate 2600 owners of each brand. Only ford owners confirmed that the service cost was always lower than expected. Whereas the myth floated by other brand owners is that ford is a costly brand to own. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Does it make sense now to buy a used Diesel car? I am in two minds about this so would appreciate some guidance. |

Buying a used car or a new car has been discussed extensively elsewhere on this forum. But for me it is always a new car. The smell and pleasure of driving a new one is any day better than a used one. Add to that the warranties etc that are available and with the reliability factor which is increasing now-a-days with technology improving. Till the time it is not from someone known to you, i suggest you to go for a new car. |

I asked this question from the relevance of BS VI norms coming into effect next year. Will it lose too much of its value when I want to sell it 3-4 years down the line. |

A simple answer will be NO.Four of our cars (no Diesel) are due for replacement, but we are waiting for the new norms to come in before replacing them. After 2020 I am not sure of what engines will be there. I will not try and buy a car which is going to be dead soon. |
