The generic formula that we use to calculate the running cost of a car is:

That said, let's use this formula to calculate the running cost of the petrol and diesel variants of the Kia Syros:

Petrol Variant Running Cost Calculation:

• Distance driven (daily): 50 kilometres 

• Petrol price: ₹94.77/litre

• Average mileage: 18 km per litre 

Daily cost = 50 km ÷ 18 km per litre x ₹94.77/litre = ₹264 

• Monthly cost (30 days) = ₹264 x 30 = ₹7,920

• Annual cost = ₹7,920 x 12 = 95,040

Diesel Variant Running Cost Calculation:

• Distance driven (daily): 50 kilometres 

• Petrol price: ₹87.67/litre

• Average mileage: 19 km per litre 

Daily cost = 50 km ÷ 19 km per litre x ₹87.67/litre = ₹231 

• Monthly cost (30 days) = ₹231 x 30 = ₹6,930

• Annual cost = ₹6,930 x 12 = ₹83,160

Note: All calculations above are based on fuel prices in Delhi. The actual running cost of your Kia Syros can vary depending on the fuel prices in your city.
