How bad roads, traffic jams make you spend more on fuel

If you drive a car in Delhi and its suburbs then bad and crowded roads are burning a big hole in your pocket. An ongoing study by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) on how much fuel is wasted because of potholed roads and bad traffic has found that vehicles travelling on “average”, crowded roads consumed nearly one-and-a-half time more fuel per kilometre compared to “good”, fuel-efficient roads.
