E20 fuel is often associated with concerns over reduced mileage. However, available studies and testing indicate that for E20-compatible vehicles, the impact on fuel efficiency is generally limited. Experts note that factors such as tyre pressure, traffic conditions, driving habits and vehicle maintenance typically have a greater influence on overall mileage than the switch to E20 fuel. Watch the video for a fact-based look at the claims and the evidence around E20. Beware! Don't fall for Rumours ⚠️

#E20 fuel does not cause a drastic drop in vehicle mileage as often claimed on social media. The actual impact is minimal—an average vehicle delivering 20 kmpl may see a difference of just 0.6 kmpl after switching to E20. Factors like tyre pressure, traffic conditions, and driving habits often influence mileage more.

These bureaucrats have twisted it for Gadkari by creating a misconception that mileage and average are the same thing. Mileage is the official fuel efficiency measured under standardized testing conditions, whereas average is the actual real-world fuel economy your vehicle delivers. Claimed mileage can vary, but what ultimately matters to vehicle owners is the real-world average. The same question applies to E20 fuel. If it was tested in controlled laboratory conditions, where is the real-world testing? Which cars and bikes were tested over the long term, in different climates, terrains, and driving conditions? That’s exactly what I asked during the protest not for a lab report, but for real-world evidence! ☺️ Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 Dinesh

Concerns around E20 fuel quality are understandable, especially because ethanol may look different from petrol. But visual appearance is not a measure of fuel quality. By strengthening standards, testing and oversight, the government is addressing genuine consumer concerns with evidence. Viral claims may continue, but consistent quality controls can help users distinguish verified facts from misleading perceptions.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."

#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra: On E20 fuel mileage test, Director, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) Dr Reji Mathai says, "... The studies were done along with the OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer), the vehicle manufacturers who understand their vehicles very well, to assess the impact of E20 compared to E10. We understand that ethanol as a fuel has a slightly lower calorific value. So the blend also has a slightly lower calorific value. There is a controlled test being done for fuel consumption... When these tests are done in controlled conditions — chamber temperatures maintained, vehicles on rollers — we can precisely understand the impact due to the fuel. We studied varied vehicles, selected by OEMs along with us. Some were 10 years old, some around 8 years, and some 3 to 4 years old. These vehicles, when tested, showed a range of around 2 to 6% drop in fuel consumption..."

Every litre of E20 does more than power a vehicle—it strengthens India’s farmers. Ethanol made from sugarcane and maize gives farmers a stronger market, supports better income opportunities and keeps more of India’s fuel money within the country. This is how energy security and rural prosperity move together. Our farmers are no longer only Annadatas. Through ethanol, they are also becoming Urjadaatas—powering India’s journey towards greater self-reliance.

The corporate gymnastics around E20 fuel are getting out of hand, and Maruti Suzuki just hit a new milestone in "tying oneself in knots." The Timeline: 📍 The Owner’s Manual: Explicitly states "Up to E10 only" to legally shield warranty liabilities. 📍 The PR Statements: Executives publicly assure millions that manuals don't matter and E10 cars handle E20 without issue. 📍 The Courtroom Defense: When ordered by a Consumer Court to replace/refund a car due to fuel system failure, MSIL appeals stating: "The vehicle is E20 compatible as mentioned in the manual, the damage was caused by ADULTERATED fuel!" 📍 The Service Center (Today): I took my car in for service today, and the advisor pitched me a protection package against damage caused by... you guessed it: "adulterated fuel." MSIL claims to have serviced 15 million E10 cars with "Zero E20 damage." But when every case of ethanol phase-separation or fuel line corrosion is conveniently categorized as "adulteration," the stat becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Trapped between government blending targets and customer liabilities, MSIL has managed to deny warranty claims on one end, while monetizing customer fear by selling add-on protection on the other. When does customer trust start mattering more than PR gymnastics? #EthanolScam #NotTheRightFuel #MeriGaadiMeraAdhikaar

Association President Sasanka Sekhar Sahu said many vehicles on Indian roads, including several BS6 models, were not originally designed for a 20% ethanol blend. He alleged that the fuel has led to complaints of clogged carburettors and other mechanical issues, with frustrated customers often confronting petrol pump owners despite dealers having no role in fuel policy. The Centre has been pushing the adoption of E20 fuel as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower emissions and boost ethanol production. However, dealers have now called for a review of the policy, arguing that vehicle compatibility concerns need to be addressed. #E20 #Petrol #Fuel #Ethanol #Automobile #BS6 #India #BreakingNews #Moneycontrol

People had barely adjusted to E20 fuel, and now KG5 is already being pushed—with just a ₹20 price difference. The government says ethanol blending doesn’t harm engines and claims extensive testing backs it up. But when asked for details of those tests, the information is reportedly “confidential.” Meanwhile, vehicle owners continue to raise concerns about mileage, performance, and long-term engine health. Comparing India to Brazil ignores one key fact: Brazil’s vehicle ecosystem is built for higher ethanol blends. At this rate, it feels like every fuel is becoming an ethanol experiment. Stay alert. And maybe keep a glass of sugarcane juice handy—it might be the only thing not being blended yet. 🌾😄

Mr Gadkari here’s the another example for you!! Sad to see a Defender being towed away! Having driven one, I can say these vehicles are extremely sensitive to fuel quality. Ethanol-blended fuel has only made things worse. Just like EVs suffer from poor charging infrastructure, premium fuel options like Speed and XP100 are almost non-existent in most hilly regions. Even before E20 fuel, Defenders would sometimes develop misfires and odd engine behavior on regular fuel; now the problem is even more noticeable. People spending ₹1.5 crore on a vehicle shouldn’t have to worry about whether the next fuel station will leave their car running properly or stranded on a flatbed. This is the result of poorly planned fuel policies introduced without ensuring proper infrastructure, fuel quality consistency, or real-world testing. Absolutely disappointing that a premium vehicle ends up being towed because the ecosystem around it isn’t ready! 😌
