Visited 2 fuel pumps (as per IOCL site) in 25 km radius in bangalore searching for XP100. Both out of stock and bunk owner says the stock comes from Gujrat which probably takes 2-3 days. Pathetic!! Even if one is willing to pay, the desired fuel is not available. 🤬
None of the fuel pumps ever gave info on what blends were offered until the E20 mandate. The blend slowly eat through vehicles and general public simply thought something was wrong with their vehicles and not the fuel. Chor Salo!
अरविंद केजरीवाल एक बार फिर झूठ और डर फैलाने की राजनीति कर रहे हैं।
अगर E20 से सचमुच गाड़ियाँ बड़े पैमाने पर खराब हो रही होतीं, तो पिछले पाँच वर्षों में देशभर की सड़कें बंद पड़ी कारों और दोपहिया वाहनों से भर जातीं।
सच्चाई यह है कि 2021 में E15, 2024 में E19 और अप्रैल 2025 से E20 उपलब्ध है। आज लगभग 2.5 करोड़ पेट्रोल कारें और 20 करोड़ से अधिक दोपहिया वाहन E15+ मिश्रित ईंधन पर चल रहे हैं।
अगर केजरीवाल का दावा सही होता, तो बीमा कंपनियाँ प्रीमियम बढ़ा देतीं और सेकेंड-हैंड पेट्रोल गाड़ियों का बाज़ार ध्वस्त हो जाता। लेकिन हकीकत इसके बिल्कुल उलट है। भारत का सेकेंड-हैंड कार बाज़ार आज सालाना लगभग 60 लाख वाहनों का है, जिसकी कीमत 40 अरब डॉलर से अधिक है और FY2031 तक इसके 70–82 अरब डॉलर तक पहुँचने का अनुमान है।
कुछ चुनिंदा वीडियो दिखाकर झूठ फैलाया जा सकता है, लेकिन सच्चाई नहीं बदली जा सकती। अरविंद केजरीवाल एक बार फिर तथ्यों की जगह भ्रम और झूठ बेच रहे हैं।
A comprehensive scientific and rational cost-benefit analysis shows that the costs of E20 blending far outweigh its benefits. @narendramodi should rethink its mandatory rollout.
Which one of you madarc**ds would come to help if vehicles suddenly stop in some remote areas or hillstation with families inside? Should we get our vehicles checked everytime in garage before taking it out for a drive?
Abe ludo log!! From 17 to 10 is "upto 5%"??? Gannakari macrohard.. mine is reduced by 35% atleast. I don't even know what damage has been caused to fuel pump.
STORY | E20 may cut mileage by up to 5% but offers cleaner combustion, energy security benefits: Oil Ministry
Petrol blended with 20 per cent ethanol (E20) can reduce fuel economy by 3-5 per cent in some vehicles, the Oil Ministry said on Friday, but argued the impact is outweighed by benefits, including a higher octane rating, superior anti-knock characteristics, faster combustion, better pickup, smoother acceleration, cleaner engine operation, and lower lifecycle carbon emissions.
In a detailed question-and-answer document issued to counter criticism of the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said E20 was a "cleaner, higher-quality and more efficient fuel" than E10 or pure petrol and had been rolled out only after years of scientific testing, consultations with automobile manufacturers and the expansion of domestic ethanol production.
The ministry rejected concerns that the programme had been implemented too quickly, saying India's ethanol blending initiative dates back to pilot projects launched in 2001, with 5 per cent blending introduced in parts of the country by 2006.

Mr. Gadkari Ji,
I am ready to bring my 2011 VW Vento to Jantar Mantar if you wish to see it yourself and still don’t believe my story.
I had sold this car to my driver. He uses it to travel with his family for functions and occasions. Yesterday, it suddenly refused to start.
When I contacted VW Chandigarh, they quoted ₹18,000 and said they would have to arrange the parts.
Imagine a person earning just ₹12,000 per month having to bear such a cost, especially when the car is out of warranty.
Instead, we got it repaired from a local mechanic for just ₹4,400.
I would have happily driven this car to Delhi, but your 10-year vehicle scrappage policy and related rules stopped me.
A perfectly good, well-maintained vehicle is now being pushed towards the scrap yard because of these policies.
It genuinely pains me to see both my driver and this reliable car suffer because of this!!
@tehseenp@FactswithDinesh
Macrohard dalle!! I now fear to even visit places 50kms far. Who will be responsible if my engine breaks down in the middle of the road with aged parents? Narak mein jalega ye and all those bas*tards who are supporting this. Pls give option for E0.
🚨 Nitin Gadkari‘s OPEN CHALLENGE
🗣️"I request countrymen, show me a SINGLE Petrol VEHICLE corroded due to ETHANOL 🤯
Go to the dealer, submit a complaint to him, and also send a copy to me. These are all HOAX CLAIMS."
(VC: Sudarshan News)
Extensive testing by ARAI, Indian Oil and SIAM has found no significant adverse effects of E20 on engines or vehicle components. E20 is safe for modern vehicles and supports cleaner mobility.
BPCL continues to drive awareness through facts.

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians.
Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:
As if the rest 44% old vehicles are from Mars? I would say 100% vehicles will have mileage drop atleast from 15% to 35%. Add the repair cost of fuel pump. One can no longer enjoy rides with peace.
66% of older petrol vehicle-owners report sharp mileage loss with E20, says a LocalCircles survey. Did the Indian government introduce the E20 programme too soon, without prior preparation? | @MoneylifeIndia

Pure bullshit relating to mileage drop. Atleast 25-30% drop is seen in my vehicle. Sugar mill mafia of all politicians and entire auto industry is involved in this.
#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "Every vehicle sold in the country after 2023 is E20-compliant. Even vehicles from before 2023 can run on E20 without any problem. As I mentioned, studies show a slight drop in mileage—around 4-5%. This does happen. The reason is that ethanol has lower energy content; hence, mileage decreases by about 4 to 5% with E20. In fact, performance actually improves because the vehicle's acceleration gets better. Ethanol has a significantly higher octane number. You might even be surprised to learn that pure ethanol is used in Formula 1 racing. So, you cannot say that performance suffers; in reality, performance—in terms of acceleration, torque, and so on—actually improves..."
Part 8 (FINAL Part):
Three developments in the last 48 hours frame what comes next.
China has ordered its companies not to comply with US sanctions on Iranian oil. This is no longer covert. It is stated policy now.
Mr. Putin's Beijing visit has been finalised for the week of May 18. Three days after Mr. Trump leaves. The choreography is now public.
Mr. Modi's Abu Dhabi stop on May 15 is the back end of a four-capital sequence.
1. Delhi for the BRICS Foreign Ministers meet on May 14 to 15.
2. Abu Dhabi for Mr. Modi and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on May 15.
3. Beijing for Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi on May 14 to 15.
4. Beijing again for Mr. Xi and Mr. Putin from May 18.
Four leaders in two capitals over six days.
Mr. Trump arrives in the middle of someone else's diplomatic sequence and leaves before the closing chapter is written. The agency does not rest with him.
The US cannot allow the settlement architecture being assembled to operate unimpeded. This can push Washington to reignite kinetic action.
Watch the readouts.
The absence of a Trump-Xi joint statement is already priced in.
The presence of a BRICS Foreign Ministers communique on alternative settlement mechanisms is not priced in.
The Fragmentation Premium clears at whatever Delhi says on May 15 and what the US and Israel do to Iran beginning May 16.
Good night!
one of the major reasons is this https://t.co/m28GIvQSTB
we have nothing to sell to the world in the combined ai + clean energy + nuclear(smr) + ships + power turbines + high grade good or anything else in a high investment cycle for next decade

INDIA MAY SOON RAISE ETHANOL BLENDING IN PETROL TO 25% TO CUT OIL IMPORTS & BOOST CLEANER FUEL USEHIGHER ETHANOL MIXING CAN HELP REDUCE FUEL IMPORT COSTS
BUT SOME OLDER VEHICLES MAY SEE LOWER MILEAGE OR REQUIRE ENGINE COMPATIBILITY CHECKS
Pakis & wignats have no idea that Indian anons are battle hardened & have sharpened their skills in endless caste wars, gender wars, import bahadur vs HAL bahadur wars, northie vs southie wars & blackpiller vs raita wars. They can't match us, our default mode is war.
