New Swift Dzire, Diesel vs Petrol

Dzire VDI on road price=  8, 27, 749


Dzire VXI on road price= 6, 86, 281


Extra paid for diesel car=  1, 41, 468


Aprox monthly km= 850 km


Monthly petrol cost= Rs 4250


Monthly diesel cost= Rs 2455


Yearly diesel car maintenance= Rs 8000


Yearly petrol car maintenance= Rs 6000


Extra paid on diesel car maintenance for 5 yrs= Rs 10, 000


5 yrs petrol cost= Rs 2, 55, 000


5 yrs diesel cost= Rs 1, 47, 300


Save by using diesel= Rs 1, 07, 700


Extra interest for the(1, 41, 468) on bank loan: Rs 52, 000


Resale value difference b/w VDI & VXI= Rs 1, 00, 000


Total extra spent on diesel= 1, 41, 468+ 10, 000+52, 000= 2, 03, 468


Total extra spent on petrol= 1, 07, 700+ 1, 00, 000= 2, 07, 700


Hence I conclude using diesel car is better


However, Future risks involved in diesel:


1) Green tax on diesel car


2) diesel price for commercial vehicles may go up
