Used Petrol Cars for Sale

Petrol cars are considered the better option for normal usage with city driving and shorter distances while diesel cars offer much more fuel economy, making them a better choice for higher annual mileage. But, with increasing emission norms and clean emission zones in various cities, petrol cars are the better option as they are cleaner and greener than diesel cars.

A figure of around 35 mpg (combined) can be considered a good mpg for petrol cars. However, a fuel consumption under 25 mpg could also indicate poor fuel consumption.

A petrol car can last around 10-15 years or close to 200,000 miles if it is regularly maintained. Modern petrol engines are reliable as long as you follow the manufacturer’s service schedule. It also depends on the make and model, as some cars can last a long time and exceed over 300,000 miles.

Generally, it is best to change oil in a petrol car every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. But every car is different, so manufacturer’s service intervals should be strictly followed. If you are unsure about the oil change interval, please check your owner's manual.
