These a pretty identical to Thai tuktuks, they variably run on 2 stroke, diesel, and some lpg apparently. They are either metered or priced by negotiation. These guys will turn their engines off in stopped traffic or at traffic lights to save gas and restart them via a crank handle down on the floor on the left hand side.
When the traffic starts moving or the lights go green you get a symphony of all the auto-rickshaw driver furiously cranking their handles to get started before the traffic gets moving. The motor bikes and some vehicles do the same.
