Any commercial vehicle operator is aware of how important fuel efficiency is for them – it’s a key factor in the bottom line of their business. However, Ashok Leyland has boldly claimed that Bada Dost i3 CBC is fuel efficient and is a good option for long term use.

Some users report amazing mileage numbers, others, however, state that they are ill served by the car that requires more than they expected. The debate also includes how the fuel efficiency holds up over time and whether the fuel efficiency degrades very much after the first break in period.
