Centre Dismisses E20 Mileage Concerns
The government says E20 fuel doesn't drastically reduce your car's mileage.
They claim that if your car usually gets 20 km per liter, you might only see a small drop of 0.6 km per liter.
Other things like tire pressure and how you drive can affect mileage more than the fuel itself.
Some people on social media think E20 fuel makes a big difference, but the government says that's not true.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting addressed concerns about E20 fuel reducing vehicle mileage.
They stated that the actual impact is minimal, with an average reduction of 0.6 kmpl for a vehicle with 20 kmpl mileage.
Factors like tyre pressure, traffic conditions, and driving habits influence mileage more than the fuel itself.
Social media claims suggest a significant reduction in vehicle mileage when switching to E20 fuel.
The government aims to provide accurate information and dispel misconceptions about E20 fuel.
