Editorial StaffAt present petrol prices are hiking day-by-day. We know that one litre of petrol costs minimum of 78 INR in India i.e. 1.31 USD. People in countries like India prefer more mileage giving vehicles, say 1000 km per litre? It would be really great if we have a vehicle of that kind. Don’t say impossible.

- Low Tyre resistance, air resistance and a very low drag coefficient are the key features for this car to get good fuel efficiency.
