CNG Mileage कितना देती हैं ये Maruti Omni ?
Main summary
Key takeaways
Product reviewed
Maruti Omni with CNG kit — focusing on:
- Fuel economy / mileage (CNG range)
- Starting behavior in the morning
- An observed CNG kit/pressure/capacity experience at a pump
Main features mentioned (CNG usage + setup)
- The car is driven using a CNG kit with 4 points/hoses and a reserve/breathing-type element.
- Auto-switching behavior: after starting, it can run on petrol first, then switch to CNG when conditions allow.
- The owner mentions using petrol temporarily for starting, because CNG is less reliable when cold.
Key observations (mileage & cost)
- Odometer reading: around 35,394 km (recorded at the time of review); car condition described as perfect.
- CNG fill details:
- Pressure mentioned: around 200 (unit not specified)
- CNG fill capacity: ~9.2 kg
- CNG cost: Rs. 595
- Earlier (return trip), about 6.7 kg CNG had been taken.
- Mileage / range claim:
- After ~170 km driven, he estimates about 27–28 km/l (the subtitle wording is unclear on exact units, but the intent appears to be ~27–28 km per unit of CNG, with the unit not perfectly clear).
- City/highway driving:
- Claims approximately 27–28 km on the highway side.
- Mentions “almost average speed in the city” but provides no exact city mileage figure.
User experience (starting & daily use)
Starting issues (cold mornings)
He emphasizes that CNG can cause problems in the morning due to:
- Low temperature, making it difficult for the system/chamber (he references a process involving a choke chamber / piston explosion).
- More vibration in cold conditions, which he warns can contribute to piston ring problems later.
Suggested approach from the video:
- Start on petrol in the morning, then switch to CNG after warming up.
- Guidance: run on petrol for about 56 km for warm-up.
- He claims this helps you drive comfortably daily.
Pump experience / operational notes
- He fills at a CNG pump and notes:
- At that time, there was no line (pump seemed relatively empty).
- He advises waiting/positioning the vehicle according to the pump’s instructions.
- Petrol top-up:
- He filled petrol (~Rs. 300) because the car had no petrol initially (needed to start).
Pros (as stated)
- Good highway mileage: estimated ~27–28 km.
- Works well when started correctly: starting on petrol first helps avoid cold CNG starting issues.
- Stable setup/settings: CNG settings from an earlier trip (Baramati) are said to be unchanged and working fine.
Cons / issues mentioned
- Cold morning behavior: CNG can be problematic due to low temperature.
- Potential long-term mechanical concern: cold starts may increase vibration, possibly leading to piston ring issues over time.
- An observed “tragedy/problem” at the start:
- A moment where he shows only about “3–4 finger battery” thickness/space and says it needs to be checked immediately (exact part unclear due to subtitle errors).
Comparisons made with similar products
- No direct comparison to other cars/CNG kits is provided.
- Only a general mention of conventional vs sequential CNG kit, suggesting kit type can affect behavior, but no side-by-side results are stated.
Unique points mentioned (complete list)
- Odometer: 35,394 km; described as perfect condition.
- Mixed operation: switching from petrol to CNG during running.
- Initially had no petrol and no CNG, so petrol was filled first to start.
- CNG pump experience: little/no waiting; follow pump procedure.
- CNG fill results: ~9.2 kg, about Rs. 595, with a pressure reading around 200.
- Petrol top-up: Rs. 300 (also referenced confusingly via subtitles).
- Morning problem explanation: CNG cold-temperature starting difficulty (choke chamber/piston process mentioned).
- Concern: cold starts cause more vibration, risking piston ring issues later.
- Recommendation: start on petrol, run about 56 km on petrol for warm-up, then use CNG.
- Kit/container/parts description: 4 points plus a reserve element; later mentions names that sound like “bread seller” and “Gurjar seller” (likely subtitle mishearing).
- Earlier trip (Baramati to home): about 6.7 kg CNG used.
- Mileage estimate: for ~170 km, estimated 27–28 km on the highway.
- Route description: straight toward Bengaluru / straight back toward Mumbai.
- City note: says it gives “almost average speed” in the city (no numeric mileage value).
- Inspection concern: shows a measurement like “3–4 fingers” / only “303” (unclear) and says it should be checked right away.
Speakers / views
- Main speaker (Sudhir / channel owner): provides most details—starting strategy, CNG fill specs, mileage estimate, and pump experience.
- A couple of brief mentions of others (e.g., “brother”, “Kabir”), but no clear separate technical opinions are presented in the subtitles.
Verdict / recommendation
Recommended if you handle cold mornings correctly.
- The video claims strong highway mileage (~27–28 km) on CNG.
- However, it strongly warns that CNG can be troublesome when cold, so the owner recommends starting on petrol first and notes possible long-term wear concerns if you rely on cold CNG starts.
