No assessment done on percentage of vehicles fully compliant with E20 petrol, says government
The Indian government revealed that no assessment has been conducted on the percentage of vehicles fully compliant with E20 petrol, which contains 20% ethanol. Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Suresh Gopi stated this in the Rajya Sabha amid public concerns over the fuel's impact on vehicle performance. The lack of compliance data raises questions about the readiness of older vehicles for this fuel standard, which may reduce fuel economy by 3-5%.
