Benefits, disadvantages and engine compatibility Petrol Benefits: Refined, quieter engines; wide availability. Disadvantages: Lower mileage than diesel. Engines: Spark‑ignition (SI). E20 requires E20‑rated components. Diesel Benefits: Higher torque and mileage for long trips. Disadvantages: Higher NVH; DPF care on short trips. Engines: Compression‑ignition (CI) with turbo & after‑treatment. CNG Benefits: Low running cost and emissions. Disadvantages: Reduced boot space; slight power drop. Engines: Bi‑fuel SI engines (Petrol/CNG) with factory or approved kits. AutoLPG Benefits: Cleaner than petrol; good urban availability in some cities. Disadvantages: Fewer stations than petrol/diesel; range anxiety. Engines: SI engines with LPG kits (homologated). E20 (20% ethanol petrol) Benefits: Lower fossil fuel use; potential price advantage.
