Fuel proficiency is one of the most important factors that drive the Indian customers, with regards to purchasing an automobile. So here's our rundown of the 10 most fuel efficient cars present at an affordable price in India.
For some customers in the nation, the cost and mileage factors are more imperative than highlights and specifications. Picking a car with a decent mileage can definitely lessen the aggregate cost of maintenance. While new car purchasers, for the most part, favor a diesel auto with a decent mileage over a petrol one, mainly due to the higher rate of petrol in the oil market, it must be noticed that makers have gradually introduced good fuel economic cars on most brand models as well.
