Question

Cars run on the energy released during fuel consumption. Vinod has purchased a new car that runs on diesel fuel while Sachin has purchased a new petrol car and is getting a CNG kit installed in the same. Of these two people who have made a better decision for the sake of our environment explain.

Answer 1

1. In a country like India, diesel cars have been one of the most cost-effective choices. But it emits particulate matter which is harmful to the environment. Diesel cars are way more polluting than gasoline ones, nearly about $6$ times more.
2. On the other hand, looking at the petrol prices in India, Petrol automobiles are not very profitable.
3. CNG-powered vehicles are a significantly better option in these situations. CNG vehicles have been on Indian roads for a decade, and with the ever-increasing prices of gasoline and diesel, they are possibly the most cost-effective choice available.
4. Vinod had purchased a new car that runs on diesel while Sachin purchased a new petrol car with a CNG kit installed in it. Sachin had made a smarter decision for the sake of the earth's environment.
5. This we can say because:

• CNG automobiles are often more eco-friendly than diesel ones. CNG cars emit less pollution, making them a better option for people who live in already-polluted cities.
• CNG vehicles also reduce harmful vehicular exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
• CNG is also non-toxic and non-carcinogenic and hence it also improves public health.
• Although gasoline or petrol engines are not as eco-friendly as diesel but due to the installment of the CNG kit Sachin’s vehicle is more eco-friendly.
