Hardeep Puri said that ethanol is used in racing cars as well to defend his stand on E20. This is the Petroleum Minister's understanding of the issue. What can one even say to that!
First, race cars are specifically engineered to run on ethanol; therefore, it does not harm them. This is not the same as forcing E20 into regular cars that are not engineered to handle it. In non-compliant vehicles, ethanol will aggressively degrade standard rubber gaskets, plastic parts, and aluminum components over time.
Second, a racing engine is built to survive for only a few hundred miles before being stripped down and rebuilt by professional mechanics, who easily manage any fuel-induced wear. An average citizen, however, needs their car to last for over a decade. Running non-compliant engines on E20 will certainly not help achieve that.
Third, race teams use ethanol solely for a performance boost due to its high octane rating, not for fuel economy. For regular people, however, fuel economy matters immensely.
@gemsofbabus_ The metro is running for just 6–7 km. They spent 7 years building this ‘priority corridor,’ and it won’t even get real traffic until it connects to Bhopal Railway Station. Who knows how many more years they’ll take to finish it.
@mutualstark Dhoni has not even once said that he single handedly won us a world cup. But like you said karma is the real thing which comes back to you.
Ordered a raincoat on @Flipkart, got a wrong local brand instead. Only return option available, no exchange—what’s the point of a big billion sale if you deliver the wrong product?
Where are you from?
And someone says ‘you won’t know it, it’s a small city near [big city]’ — I wish they’d just say the name of their hometown proudly.
Don’t hide it! Every place has its own charm. #thoughts
P.S - I always proudly say, I am from UJJAIN 🙂
Outrageous! A passenger filed an online complaint about being overcharged by catering staff on 14609, Hemkunt express. Just hours later, he was brutally beaten by the pantry staff, simply for daring to raise a complaint!
Today's incident.
The guy next to me opened the middle seat at 7 PM (not allowed until 10) and when I pointed it out, he said 'complain wherever you can.' He's wearing a railway ID card, claiming he's been on duty and wants to sleep, yet he's been scrolling his phone for 45 minutes.
@RailMinIndia
I was waiting for green signal before Four Points on Nagar Road. When the signal turned green, I noticed that people from the other side of the signal were still crossing the road. After that, people from the opposite side, including an auto driver, car, 1/2 @PuneCityTraffic
Still, my issue has not been resolved. No one is there to reply to me in the DM @motorolaindia. I have not used the phone even for 1 month and it is in the service center for more than 25 days.
Hi @motorolaindia@Lenovo_in, I'm extremely disappointed with the service. I purchased my phone on Oct 24, but it developed an issue. Despite visiting the service center on Nov 21,the problem persists even after they returned my phone on Dec 9. Help me resolve this issue urgently
