Journalist : People are complaining that using E20 Petrol has reduced their vehicles' mileage. Nitin Gadkari : It's a technical issue. In city traffic, frequent gear changes don't reduce mileage. But on highways, when the vehicle runs at higher speeds, it may delivered slightly lower mileage. Logic.. 🥵🥵

Journalist: My car's mileage was 10 to 11 in city. After E20 petrol, the mileage has been reduced to 7. Nitin Gadkari: You can't calculate avg of your car by yourself. Only a machine can check your avg and only then I will believe that mileage of your car has reduced. I do understand that there are lots of misinformation and fake videos regarding E20 petrol. But Nitin Gadkari's stance that E20 Petrol is not affecting cars is absolutely laughable. Even if I assume that E20 Petrol is not harming E20 compliant cars but what about cars which are only E10 compliant. Nitin Gadkari has no idea about how much people are turning against him. The decision to rush E20 Petrol and impose it on everyone within such a short time is not looking good now.

Journalist: My car’s mileage has dropped from 11 km/l to 7 km/l in the city due to ethanol. Nitin Gadkari: How did you check your car’s mileage? Journalist: I checked it in my car, just as everyone does. Nitin Gadkari: You can’t check it at home. A car’s mileage can only be checked using a company-authorised dealer’s machine.

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 ⚠️

KEJRIWAL CATCHES MODI GOVT’S E20 EXPERIMENT SCAM 🔥 Centre told the Supreme Court E20 is an experiment. Newspapers reported it, and the same government ran from its own statement. What kind of experiment is forced on an entire country? You test on 100 vehicles, maybe 1,000. Modi govt made 140 crore people and every vehicle part of the trial. BPCL’s own expert says ethanol has around 30% lower mileage in chemical form. Then cut the price by 30% na? Same petrol price, lower mileage, higher running cost. Citizens get the bill, government gets the headline. Kejriwal is writing to the Prime Minister demanding rollback.

So don't listen to these myths. They have no technical background. Government is not foolish. Government is very intelligent. They have done four years' study. Then they executed it.

Why don't you count those mileage? Why we are counting only 2 to 4 percent drop?...Today the government is giving RON 95 octane at the same price. See the difference. Today petrol is much better..."

#WATCH | Guwahati, Assam: Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi staged protest in the Assam assembly premises against Ethanol blend fuel He says, "By mixing 20% ethanol in petrol, they have ruined our car engines. Mileage has also reduced. The government is saying that this is an experiment. If it is an experiment, then try it in one or two vehicles. Why in the entire country? If you want to experiment further, then make a provision that for those who use normal petrol, it will be normal petrol and for those who use E20, it will be E-E20. And thirdly, you should look at the price, look at the price of petrol, 20% ethanol is mixed in it. Has the price of petrol reduced after this?..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "Every vehicle sold in the country after 2023 is E20-compliant. Even vehicles from before 2023 can run on E20 without any problem. As I mentioned, studies show a slight drop in mileage—around 4-5%. This does happen. The reason is that ethanol has lower energy content; hence, mileage decreases by about 4 to 5% with E20. In fact, performance actually improves because the vehicle's acceleration gets better. Ethanol has a significantly higher octane number. You might even be surprised to learn that pure ethanol is used in Formula 1 racing. So, you cannot say that performance suffers; in reality, performance—in terms of acceleration, torque, and so on—actually improves..."

#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..."

I don’t drive; I hardly knew about different types of petrol before all this #E20Petrol controversy started Recently, I went to petrol pump & they had this Indian Oil XP 100 that has ZERO ethanol Yes, it’s premium priced ~ 160 ₹ per litre Whereas normal petrol (E20) is priced at 110 ₹ per litre Not just Indian Oil, even HP, BP, all have XP 100 - yes, the brands may differ, but they all have XP 100 that has ZERO ethanol Moreover, we recently traveled during heavy monsoons in Maharashtra to Konkan & got a mileage of 17 kmpl on my Wagon R ( I have an Ertiga too & haven’t noticed drop in mileage) Now, I don’t normally look at these things but because of it this controversy, I checked Now if you don’t believe the govt of India, if you don’t believe that car makers , if you think E20 will ruin even your brand new cars & give you horrible mileage, then please buy XP100 The fact that govt is NOT giving CHOICE is 100 % FAKE & if a person like me who has ZERO interest in cars & mileage comes to know of this, didn’t people who own & drive cars realise this? This is a CO-ORDINATED campaign A TOOL KIT Don’t fall for it

India is increasing ethanol blending in petrol from 20% to 30%. But what exactly does that mean for your car, fuel bills, and the environment? In this video, we break down what ethanol blending actually is, why governments across the world promote it, and how India’s E30 push could affect everyday drivers. While higher ethanol blends may help reduce oil imports, support farmers, and lower certain emissions, they could also lead to lower mileage, more frequent refuelling, and potential compatibility issues for older vehicles. The video also looks at the environmental concerns around large-scale ethanol production, including water usage and pressure on agricultural land. Note: In its May 15 notice, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) established standards for E22, E25, E27, and E30 fuel blends. However, the Government of India has not yet announced a nationwide commercial rollout timeline or mandated E30 petrol at retail fuel stations. Keep watching DeKoder for more such explainers. #EthanolBlending #E30 #Petrol #India #FuelPrices #Cars #Climate #Biofuel #Explained #DeKoder

There’s a new viral trend to test the gas that comes out of our gas station pumps in America They’re doing this because people say our gas quality has dropped in quality and they’re getting lower gas mileage It looks like this same trend is happening in Canada. A Circle K was caught with gas so bad, it was 50% water and damaged 7 vehicles “The mix that we're seeing is about 50% water and then 50% fuel, which is enough that it actually won't combust and spark inside of the engine so that at that point your vehicle is not drivable because you can't actually turn the engine over” ‘Contaminated gas bought from an Edmonton Esso Circle K was 50% water, according Colton William of Kross Mitsubishi’ Another thing that makes gas feel like you’re getting worse gas mileage is regulatory changes allowing lower-energy additives. These contribute to the “feels weaker” feeling for many drivers

And yet in return we get Pathetic roads, mostly terrible infrastructure, traffic jams and now fuel that destroys the engines and kills mileage of our vehicles! Meanwhile we all know that most sugar mills owned by netas & their families and it is their linked companies that are minting crores from ethanol distilleries. Let's cut out the BS, this is a straight-up Ethanol Scam! And while we INDIANs have to pay a price & yet suffer, these netas profit and make money! Also say if one wants non blended fuel instead of this nonsensical E-20, E-30 or E-100 why can't we be given that? #EthanolScam #GadkariEthanol #MiddleClassLoot

So, he fooled the entire country. The moment Manish Kashyap posted his video claiming that his Toyota Innova Hycross was damaged due to E20 petrol, I knew he was lying and doing it purely for engagement farming. Hycross was launched in December 2022, and E20 petrol was introduced in January 2023. Every Toyota Innova Hycross is fully E20-compliant. He lied, spread panic, and was caught red-handed within 48 hours. Toyota inspected his vehicle and confirmed the issue had nothing to do with E20. The car had been running on adulterated, non-standard fuel. After the fuel system was cleaned and standard E20 was refilled, the vehicle ran perfectly normally. There are people with genuine concerns and they deserve attention. But then there are individuals like Manish Kashyap, who peddle fake propaganda for views, money, or political mileage. You will see many such videos in future Don’t fall for such misinformation.

‼️Please lend an ear to this, it might save you from buying a mileage manipulated vehicle 🍋 🚮 ( Context here is on Auction Cars however this practice is also done on other cars ) What He is saying is, majority of the vehicles that are won/bought at the auction with high mileage, go through a common evil practice where the dealer reverses the mileage and then sells it with no service history or they reverse it to as close as possible to the last recorded mileage and they it has full service history. Which is an absolute lie. He encourages people to make sure to practice their due diligence no matter where they are buying from!! He further says if the ownership history shows the dealer got it from an auction then you need to dig deeper 😲 Try this exercise out, ask 10 people who own cars if they have service history of their cars. You will be shocked to see that at least 7 or 8 of them will say they do have. Scary part is second hand cars at some dealers barely have any service histories, HOW-COME???

This is what happens when someone makes sweeping claims without looking at the complete evidence. At least do your homework before speaking with such confidence. Since you've raised these issues, let's examine the facts. You claimed that E20 reduces mileage by 15–20%. But your own calculation contradicts that claim. Ethanol contains roughly 33% less energy than petrol. Moving from E10 to E20 translates to an expected difference of about 3.3%, which is consistent with the government's estimates. So where did the 15–20% figure come from? There is no credible evidence supporting it. You also claimed that pre-2023 vehicles are facing a nationwide engine crisis because of E20. If that's true, where is the evidence? The transition to E20 did not happen overnight. It began gradually in 2021 before becoming the standard. More than 20 crore two-wheelers and over 20 lakh cars have been operating on progressively higher ethanol blends for years. If there were a widespread engine failure issue, it should be visible in large-scale service data and independent reporting. Then there's the forex argument. Here, you compared a one-year estimate with a cumulative figure covering multiple years. That is not a like-for-like comparison. The reported savings of approximately ₹1.90 lakh crore in foreign exchange and the replacement of 310 lakh tonnes of crude oil cover the period from 2014–15 to May 2026. Comparing that with a single year's data creates a misleading impression. Finally, you argued that older vehicles are increasing India's petrol consumption because of E20. But that conclusion depends on a mileage loss that isn't supported by the evidence you've cited. Meanwhile, data and statements from manufacturers and industry bodies indicate a different picture. So the real question is simple: Who should people rely on? The engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and testing agencies that have spent years evaluating these vehicles and fuels— Or claims that are not supported by comparable data and verifiable evidence? Before making alarming claims, it's worth ensuring that the facts actually support the conclusion. Arvind Kejriwal should note this.

Tehseen Poonawalla is absolutely right & must be supported by everyone univocally on this issue. If you don’t support him, you risk your valuable vehicles which are at risk now. The forced E20 ethanol blending policy has become a textbook case of conflict of interest, lack of transparency, and disregard for the common citizen. How people of India are being treated as Guinea pigs for trials and how their only precious asset a 2,3 or 4 wheeler is risked is appalling, brazen and shames less and that to benefit Mr Gadkari’s son 😡 While Union Minister Nitin Gadkari aggressively pushes mandatory E20 — claiming it helps farmers and cuts imports — his own sons reportedly have direct business interests in ethanol distilleries that have seen massive revenue surges. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri defends it by comparing our daily drivers to racing cars and downplays mileage drops, engine wear, and the complete absence of consumer choice. This is unacceptable. Citizens have every right to choose between E20 and regular petrol. Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests. Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 #EthanolScam #E20Petrol #SackGadkari #ConsumerRights #MyCarMyChoice

Tehseen Poonawalla is absolutely right & must be supported by everyone univocally on this issue. If you don’t support him, you risk your valuable vehicles which are at risk now. The forced E20 ethanol blending policy has become a textbook case of conflict of interest, lack of transparency, and disregard for the common citizen. How people of India are being treated as Guinea pigs for trials and how their only precious asset a 2,3 or 4 wheeler is risked is appalling, brazen and shames less and that to benefit Mr Gadkari’s son 😡 While Union Minister Nitin Gadkari aggressively pushes mandatory E20 — claiming it helps farmers and cuts imports — his own sons reportedly have direct business interests in ethanol distilleries that have seen massive revenue surges. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri defends it by comparing our daily drivers to racing cars and downplays mileage drops, engine wear, and the complete absence of consumer choice. This is unacceptable. Citizens have every right to choose between E20 and regular petrol. Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests.

𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬. : If INDIA truly wants to cut fuel import bills by Rs 3 lakh crores, all we have to do is build decent roads, proper infrastructure & remove encroachments. But contractors pay netas their cut money & encroachers who cause traffic jams are vote banks of netas. We are told ethanol is “good for the environment” but to produce 1 litre of ethanol it takes 2500-3500 litres of water at sugar mills or above 10,000 litres per litre at rice mills! This when the country is facing water shortage. How is this good for anyone except the netas? Most ethanol distilleries are owned by netas, for example Nitin Gadkari ji’s son! And please tell me how is Gadkari ji announcing ethanol policy when he is neither the Petroleum Minister, nor Agriculture Minister, nor Industry Minister? We the people pay full price for our vehicles + road tax + insurance + tolls + GST on spares… and in return we get pathetic roads, terrible infrastructure & now forced ethanol-blended fuel that kills mileage & damages engines. Meanwhile netas with direct conflict of interest are minting crores & crores and the poor hardworking honest INDIAN suffers as most Indian vehicles aren’t even E20 compatible yet Nitin Gadkari ji is forcing these ethanol norms on us as if we are lab rats! #EthanolScam. #EthanolScam #GadkariEthanol #MiddleClassLoot

VIDEO | Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri (Hardeep Singh Puri) addresses concerns over ethanol-blended fuel. Addressing a press conference in Delhi, he says, "Somebody is saying that fuel mileage is going to drop. It is now well established that ethanol is even used in racing cars. Acceleration improves. What is that called? Knocking? Knocking also improves. Mileage? Yes, it may drop a little. But it may drop slightly due to various factors... Secondly, after consulting all stakeholders, including SIAM and ARAI, we have reached this stage. Then someone says, 'Your insurance will no longer cover this'. Insurance companies have already clarified that there is no such issue. But who benefits from spreading this false narrative? I am not going to make any accusations, but one thing should be very clear. There is enough space in India's growing consumer market for all technologies to coexist. There is room for electric vehicles, biofuel blended vehicles, and we are currently only at 20 per cent ethanol blending. If we move from 20 per cent to 25 per cent, it will happen only after all the necessary tests have been completed. There is also enough space for hybrid vehicles and CNG vehicles..."
