E20 petrol may reduce mileage in older vehicles, says government

The Indian government has said that E20 petrol, which has 20% ethanol, might make older cars go a little less distance on a full tank, but it won't hurt the engine.

They say this happens in some older cars made for E10 petrol, which has less ethanol.

The government also says E20 petrol has some good things, like making the car run smoother.

But some people are worried and say E20 petrol is bad, even though they haven't shown any proof.

The government says these worries are not true and are being spread to make people think badly about E20 petrol.
