Honda City owners who opted for the CNG kit have reported significant savings on fuel costs, with mileage figures ranging from 13-14 km/kg in city conditions to 22-23 km/kg on highways. However, the installation comes with a compromise on boot space due to the 60-litre CNG tank. I think this trade-off is worth it for the long-term savings.

Despite the benefits, the CNG kit installation in the Honda City reduces the boot space significantly due to the 60-litre tank. This is a crucial factor for buyers who need ample cargo space. I think Honda should consider optimizing the design to minimize this impact in future models.
