@smokie, @autohead
Do you have any updates on the Alto CNG.
I am seriously considering buying an Alto CNG for my wife for daily city commute.

Is there anything specific you would like to know?

Here is the latest data...

As you can see, service cost is almost 30% of the overall operating cost. This figure will come down as the services will not be as frequent.

Wondering about service cost of 14746/- for Alto. What all does it includes?

Recently my Spark Plug Silicon cables conked off aftr 4000 Km of CNG conversion. Car is just 2 year old.

It includes everything which is not fuel. So all the 4 servicing plus my window was smashed by thieves.

Hi,

I am back with more data after the latest service. Also attached is the data file if you would like to do more analysis.

A quick update. 40k servicing also done. I have stopped tracking the mileage since shifting to Bangalore as there is no CNG available here.

My car has been broken into again :(. This time the thieves got away with my stereo and car stepney. I was kayaking at Manchenbelle and the car was not in eye sight.

What can I do to prevent such incidents in the future? How to secure my car?
