Here's a list of the 10 most fuel efficient petrol SUVs in India. Guess what, even the least efficient of this lot delivers over 14kmpl! What's more, most of them are under Rs 10 lakh. So, go ahead, take your pick. Do note that the mileage numbers stated are claimed by ARAI and real-world fuel efficiency figures are usually slightly lesser. (Source: CarDekho.com)
