Cng price in chinchwad, pune up by 6 Rs. in year

One year back, I bought my Cng car (Wagon-r).
Cng price in pcmc was 39 Rupees at that time. Since then it is increased 3 times during last year.
First increased to Rs. 41.50, then to Rs. 43.
From 1st of July 2013, it is again increased from 43 to 45.
If it continues to increase at the same rate, people's preferance to buy cng car will go down as fuel economy is most important factor for buying cng car or converting to cng option.
Lets see what happen.

Update 14.09.2013: cng price is Rs. 47 now in chinchwad, pune.

At reception, they verified my appointment details and asked me to sit for 5-10 mins. Within 5 minutes they arranged one Service person to complete Service sheet. All process completed at 11.00 AM and they informed that i'll get call when Car is ready. They arrange drop facility if required but as I planned to go for marriage so I came with my friend who brought Bike to Service center. I asked him that I need car in evening before 5PM.

Wagon-R CNG- My first car

Last month (13 May), i booked Wagon-R CNG at Wonder Cars showroom in Chinchwad, Pune.
i10, Polo, Beat(diesel) and Wagon-R were my options when i started to think of buying a car.
After searching on net for few days, I decided to buy CNG car mainly for 2 reasons. First and most important is running cost(mileage) and second is that CNG is considered as more environment friendly.
In company fitted CNG cars, I found Wagon-R CNG is best on many forums and even on one Car show on television. So final decision was simple when CNG option was decided. WAGON-R (CNG).
I personally like Polo very much in hatchbacks but when it comes to buying a car, there are many factors which we consider rather than your favorite car.
First and most important thing for middle class family like us is cost of running (i.e. mileage). As cost of petrol is going up day by day, buying petrol only car option was gone.
So other options were Diesel and CNG. I personally didn't wanna buy Diesel car (though Polo has diesel variant available). CNG was the option for first criteria. Polo, Wagon(R) and Beat were options remaining
Second thing was cost of maintaining and availability of service stations - Maruti Suzuki is the best in this criteria.
I was not sure about cost of maintaining WV so Polo option was dropped and I was having only 2 options Wagon-R and Beat .
Even though Beat has great features compared to Wagon-R, my final choice was Wagon-R only because is is Maruti car.
 I have not got the delivery yet. I'll get it most probabily this month end or start of next month.
