E20 petrol may reduce mileage by up to 5% but won't harm engines, govt says
The Indian government has informed Parliament that E20 petrol — a blend containing 20% ethanol — may reduce fuel efficiency by around 3 to 5 percent in some older vehicles. Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi made this disclosure in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha. The government clarified that the blended fuel does not cause any damage to engines. Officials also noted that fuel economy is affected by multiple factors, including driving habits, vehicle maintenance, tyre pressure, wheel alignment, and air conditioning use.
