good comparison.....you only forgot to mention another important issue..."TIME"
1: In diesel or Petrol (without CNG) driven vehicles....whenever one wants, where ever one wants...one stops and get fuel.......... one reaches home on time...reaches office on time...spends some quality time with the family....
2: on CNG...its a different story.... on monday and tuesday and wednesday (okay so till evening only) there is no CNG.... so the story goes something like...
on wednesday one plans a trip to CNG station....o damn!!! I live in DHA...only like 4 CNG stations....loooooooooong queues...two choices..
1: I can get CNG after work...stand in queue for an hour ATLEAST ...get under-pressured CNG ....reach home late... by the time one reaches home...tired liek anything ...the whole stop and move...stop and move till i reach the pump...eh well! so home,eat and sleep.....
2: Idea is to spend some time with family....lets make it a weekly family picnic in the CNG station...o I have an idea...lets instal a DVD player in the car...screens in headrest for kids at the back....YAAY...thats a nice time spent together with the family in a fresh CNG fumed place
o and on saturday morning...CNG is finished again.....I cannot get CNG now...as cylinder wont be empty in one day...and i HAVE TO get CNG on sunday so it can last me for the next two/three days.... O and why I cannot get CNG on sunday with car only driven 20-25 KM in cylinder filled on saturday as it will cost be about 200 to fill up the CNG tank again....the whole CNG pressure thing...this will mean..its brining the cost per KM sort of near petrol...soooooooooo ..... that means....i shouldnt go anywhere on saturday ......... get CNG sunday monring as in evening there will be loooooooooong queue again....o and ofcourse...if the pressure is low...the CNG wont last even 2 complete day travel to office........... GETTING THE STORY GUYS!!! (o and in all this CNG scenario....one is constantly swearing at the one running the country!)
so the comparison should be between ...
QUALITY TIME (relaxed + with family + less stress) OR QUEUE TIME (CNG station queue + worrying about CNG consumption + where to get CNG from i.e. CNG planning)
life is waaaaaay to short ..... do we want to spend our last day worrying about saving Rs. 100-150 ... or do we wannt to spend it with our family,friends or computer games!!!!???????
Saying that........... "I AM GOING TO GET CNG .... SO GOOD TO GET SOME TIME AWAY FROM ANGRY WIFE" ...........
P.S: dont you hate when people send their drivers to stand in CNG stationn queue....whats the fun in that!!!
