With skyrocketing petrol price, everybody is talking diesel cars. Does buying a diesel car really make sense? Yes, if you drive long kilometers regularly. Remember, diesel cars require more servicing compared to petrol driven cars. Here is a formula for quick reference.

Minimum kilometers for breakeven in 1 year = (Price difference between petrol and diesel cars + cost of regular servicing in a year)/ (price difference of a liter of diesel and petrol)

Don’t consider first year servicing cost as that comes free most often with new cars or certified old cars. Try to know “what’s the regular servicing cost on the model from second year". Ask that to any registered service center.
