On papers your calculations looks good but the real world mileage of a petrol car is around 11-13 in city at best, with 1-2 persons in car. Same goes for CNG, it should be around 20. For highway the numbers in article are reasonable with little deviation. Considering that petrol mileage would be atleast 5-7 Rs/km cheaper and a cng versios would be doing breakeven in 15-20k kms.
You may not agree with the calculations provided in the post. But the conclusion is correct. Go with CNG only if you can recover the extra cost in the 1st year of ownership. Otherwise the overall experience of CNG car is not that great.
