How much will Bajaj Freedom CNG cost for 330 Km?
The Bajaj Freedom 125 runs on both CNG and petrol, giving a combined range of 330 km. Now, let’s calculate the cost for covering 330 km.
The bike has a 2-liter petrol tank. As of July, the petrol price in Gujarat is approximately ₹94.61 per liter. So, for 2 liters of petrol, you’ll spend around ₹190. This amount of petrol will give you a range of 130 km.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Petrol Tank Capacity: 2 liters
- Petrol Price (July 2024, Gujarat): ₹94.61 per liter
- Cost for 2 liters: ₹190
- Range on Petrol: 130 km
The Bajaj Freedom 125 comes with a small CNG tank that can hold up to 2 kg of CNG gas, which is roughly 12.5 liters of CNG.
In Gujarat, the price of 1 kg of CNG gas is ₹78.12, so for 2 kg of CNG, you’ll need to spend about ₹156. This 2 kg of gas will give you a range of 200 km.
Here’s the breakdown:
- CNG Tank Capacity: 2 kg (about 12.5 liters)
- CNG Price (Gujarat): ₹78.12 per kg
- Cost for 2 kg of CNG: ₹156
- Range on CNG: 200 km
Finally, if you fill 2 kg of CNG gas and 2 liters of petrol, the total cost will be ₹346 (₹156 for CNG + ₹190 for petrol). In return, you get a range of 330 km.
So, the cost of running this bike is approximately ₹1.04 per km.
Here’s the final calculation:
- Total cost (CNG + Petrol): ₹346
- Total range: 330 km
- Cost per km: ₹346 ÷ 330 km = ₹1.04 per km.
