Science has spoken. Propaganda has lost. An IIT Kanpur study has effectively put the E20 misinformation campaign & the hit jobs against Nitin Gadkari ji to rest. ✅ No significant engine damage : new or old vehicles. ✅ Fuel efficiency impact is under 5%, often comparable to regular petrol.... ✅ Cleaner air, lower crude oil imports, and greater energy security. Those who peddled fear over E20 owe the public an explanation. Facts matter. Research matters. India's ethanol transition is backed by science, not social media hysteria.show more

Which engine was this? No idea. Where is the full report? No idea. Why report not published for peer review yet? No idea.. Add any big institute name and call everything else a hit job.. You want to know what is a hit Job, Minimum 6600 Crore ₹ per year with a 3% mileage drop to be paid by Vehicle owners (2015-2023).

How much does a 3% mileage drop cost you annually Mr. Bhatt ?

@mynewrainbow From 5% you become 3% just a min you will again go back saying there is no mileage drop. Mileage drop is very prominent, my car used to give 18 now gives 11. And I burn additional fuel to cover same distance so Pollution benifit thing is also crap.

@BesuraTaansane Govt claimed 3-7%, I just gave a reality check on very conservative figure for what 3% is, in terms of extra expenses. It is surely way more then that.

Please share the detailed research and study link, I could not find anywhere other than the new link!!

The title should be IIT Kanpur proves Ethanol labeling on cars irrelevant - car makers should be fined for wrong marketing and government policies around ethanol compliance was unnecessary

Go and sue your car maker

Lololllll what even is this comedy man. You’d have ended up using all nice new cars. The biggest sufferers of your tweets are actually Indian janta dude. I have a 2020 car that’s dropped mileage like anything, despite the best servicing the driving has become quite pain. Please stop your sensational paid partnership man. Shyaaa

@abhijeetpushkar What do mean by anything? Be specific. Which car. How much pre and post E20 & what does this cost you annually.

@abhijeetpushkar Right back at you bro ❤️🙏🏼 You’re quoting studies have proven this that and all, be specific. Which cars were tested, were pre-2023 cars part of the test :) P.s mine is a nexon purchased in 2021

Asking again for 7th time Sameer Bhai. If there is no damage done to engines of old cars why r car manufacturers spending millions in developing #E20 compatible engines. Why this futile investment.

I don’t understand why you guys believe that Indians are dumb.. I have 2018 car and bike and have seen atleast 10 percent drop in mileage by comparing full tank method.. why you all paid influencers want people not to trust their own experience but trust gov funded studies at gov institutions.

IIT Kanpur, in the Financial Year 2024-25, received ₹8,68,34,41,510 (i.e., 868 crore) as Capital and Revenue Grants from the Government of India; and ₹10 crore as Grants from the State Government. Source: official website of IIT Kanpur. #justsaying

Absolutely....however NDA/BJP is not sharp enough when it comes effective & timely information management & more importantly in terms of perception management...while opposition is damn good in terms of misinformation/ disinformation / propaganda & narrative setting..

Can you share the link of the report I have a few questions: 1) What was the sample size? 2) What was the length(time) of data used? 3) Which methodology they used for checking for damanges? 4) What was the size of the control group?

sorry i dont believe this study..in last 4 months my 2022 nios is giving a mileage 20% less...from 10.5 on my small route down to 8.3...it coincides exactly with e20 being made mandatory. its possible that outside lab cponditions due to stiorage the petrol is getting water in it or oetrol pumps under guise of e20 are adding even more ethanol

How much does it cost you annually ?

if i am getting a 20% lesser mileage whats the point of the 20% ethanol ? i will end up consuming same amount of petrol plus pay for the ethanol...how is the cost relevant for the argument , obviouslly i am paying 20% more than if pure petrol was made available at same cost?

All great to hear.... but please explain this...please...

Sample size? Duration of study? Conditions? If you would have understood science then you would not be surviving on defending the indefensible.

Maybe I don’t but if you suggest IIT Kanpur folks don’t then you are the clown here

There’s a difference between independent research and research done with preconceived notions. If you don’t understand the difference then I cannot help you.

Ask people who still have BS-4 vehicles which aren't even E-10 compliant , they'll tell you the real mileage drop is more than 30% , I am one of them .

i have three. All pre 2023. Ab bolo

Bhai mere pass 2014 activa hai , mileage almost 40% down hai .

Sir I don't want ethanol blended petrol, I want regular petrol. Engineer who invented engine, never use blended petrol, so I don't want goverment to perform science project on my vehicle, which I bought with my hard earned money, Use this ethanol in government vehicle only.pls

Keep trying harder to justify. Sad that common man is taken for such a big ride. No one is willing to listen to common man and the ground realities he is facing. First of all many petrol pump owners themselves have agreed that rainwater mixing coz of hygroscopic nature of ethanol

The problem is expensive E20. If there's deficit in mileage, then reduce the cost of E20 petrol to cover up for that deficit. E20 petrol was at 94 in my state, the US-Iran war made crude go up, but now crude is cheap, petrol is still 102 in my state. Why consumers pay?

How much does it cost you annually?

My annual petrol bill has gone from ₹88k (FY23–24) to ₹1L (FY25–26). Mileage: FY23–24: 16 km/L, FY25–26: 13.5 km/L That's with timely servicing. ₹1L assumes only petrol price hikes + E20 related mileage loss. Factoring in the full real world mileage drop pushes it to ₹1.25 L

Good science, here my real life mileage of 2022 manufactured car has gone down by 30 % but yes , science works. We are liars and anti nationals Vigyaan Amar rahe.

WHERE THE FCUK HAS YOUR ETHANOL BABA HIDDEN THE ARAI REPORT??? IS HE A BIGGER COWARD THAN YOUR ILLEGITIMATE NON BIOLOGICAL PAW PAW

but still that doesnot changes the fact that making ethanol is a water intensive project. When many major cities face water crisis in peak summer.

Try harder, clown. Every common man knows the reality of this scam.

Where's the study, so the public can see it? We're just supposed to believe it because the government - especially this government - is saying it? My E10 car has taken a 25 percent mileage hit - ab bolo, as you like to say.

While being an Modi govt supporter, I don't need to be defensive for Nitin Gadkari decisions. First of all it was ILLEGAL for him to bring a bill of conflict of interest. He is acting as Petroleum Minister. He is bringing dent to all good work this govt has brought. #RepealE20

It is a policy decision. Not Gadkari’s personal decision.

Believe it or not. PM ambition of Gadkari is getting better of him. And again the bill on ethanol was a clear conflict of interest since his sons are in beneficiary position of ethanol companies.

This is what desperation looks like. Call it "scientific", but do not show or share any data or method for independent verification. Just push a lot of humanities guys (who do not understand science since birth) to make a lot of noise. No wonder India is scientifically backward.

Then why that science forcing companies to have E20 compliance when effect is not there ? Just abolish the compliance certificate as per your science. By the way, can you share the study of IIT Kanpur as I'm not able to find it. Just media bites here & there without any details

I hv no blue tick. I hv bn posting it from the beginning of this foreign funded propaganda. My reach is very limited. I myself hv tested on my two cars, BS iv and BS vi. I usually use xp95.

Why don't they put the ARAI report on Public domain??

Any scientific backing, explanation, or debunking of this?

Can IIT Kanpur confirm on the rating which is on car as E10, E20 complaint are all of no use. Even agencies like ARAI are fools that they allow E10 rated cars. Let IIT kanpur come out of reports that E10 E20 rating of cars are just to deceive customers and serves no real purpose

The comedy created by the @narendramodi givernment is that, none of the claimed studies are available on public domain. Only ₹2.00 coolies are propogating as all is well. Everyday new person comes on air and say #e20 is fine. #fekuteam #falsenarratives

To behnchd ogr to iit study k hisab se sare car wale warranty terms bdal rhe honge Madarchod cgutiyee

If you are still in the delusion that its a hit job against Nitin Gadkari, then be like that till 2029. The ground reality is completely different. Ask any common people and get their view on this. How this E20 making a hole in their pocket. How angry they are.

Its simple as that I want pure petrol thats all other countries having it neighbour country selling pure oil with less price either give us pure petrol or leave the govt thats all u can use e 20 e 40 in govt vehicles govt public transportation police army vehicles u can use there

Only time will verify. Claims are there for pros and cons . Responsible person from government preferably @nitin_gadkari ji should come on national television and explain the whole thing

Where is the publication?
