Just a simple guy with simple mind and a dream of better world and I love cars...that's about it.

[Mayank Sharma @MayankS3094]

I sold my Mahindra Thar and Tata Harrier to Cars24 in February. It's been 5 months, and my issues are still not resolved.

For my Mahindra Thar, Cars24 deducted ₹500 from my payment for a traffic challan but never paid it. Because of their negligence, I had to visit the authority twice for party peshi and eventually pay the challan myself. Even after the RTO signatures are complete, they are still holding ₹10,000 for the party peshi.

For my Tata Harrier, Cars24 deducted around ₹30,000–35,000 for pending challans. Once again, they failed to pay them. It was only after repeated complaints that the challans were finally cleared.

After my previous post, the Cars24 team contacted me and asked me to delete it, promising that everything would be resolved. I trusted them and removed the post. Today, when I asked for an update, I was simply told to send another email.

This is completely unacceptable. If you can't manage the paperwork and payments properly, why are you taking customers' cars?

Please repost this so more people know what I have gone through. Think twice before selling your car to Cars24. My experience has been nothing but delays, broken promises, and poor customer service.

Bought a Hyundai Venue 1.2 NA in Sept 2023.

Average mileage with AC: ~20 kmpl.
Best I ever managed: 26 kmpl.

Then came the glorious E20 revolution. 🇮🇳🙏

My car was E20-compatible, so naturally E20 could NEVER be the problem. By May 2026, the mileage had gracefully evolved to 10-11 kmpl.

Took it to Hyundai.

“Sir, the car is perfectly fine.” ✅
“Could be adulterated fuel.” ✅
“Many cars are facing mileage issues.” ✅

Fantastic.

The car is fine.
E20 is fantastic.
The government is correct.
The service centre is correct.

Apparently the only defective component is the owner who knows how much petrol he fills and how many kilometres he drives. 🤡

And according to Nitin Gadkari ji, you apparently can't even properly check your car's mileage yourself - you should get it checked at a service centre.

Of course! 😂

What kind of primitive mathematics is this "full tank → drive → full tank → kilometres ÷ litres" nonsense?

Please don't try such advanced calculations at home. Only trained professionals at authorised service centres possess access to the classified technology known as… division. 🙏

Eventually, I sold the Venue after ~2.5 years despite having extended warranty, SOT, Super SOT, etc. - and bought a Tata Nexon EV 45.

Maybe there was an undetected engine issue. Maybe an ECU/software update changed something. I don't know.

But don't you dare suspect E20.

Your mileage dropped? You calculated it wrong.

Your range dropped? Wrong again.

Your fuel expenses increased? Skill issue.

Just remember:

DON'T TRUST YOUR ODOMETER.
DON'T TRUST THE FUEL PUMP.
DON'T TRUST YOUR WALLET.
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T DIVIDE KILOMETRES BY LITRES AT HOME.

Trust the PowerPoint. E20 is wonderful. 🙏🤡

क्या उन्हें दोषी नहीं ठहराया जाना चाहिए ????

नागरिक केवल काम करेंगे... दर्द का सामना करेंगे... टैक्स चुकाना होगा... जुर्माने का भुगतान करेगा... सरकार की जेब भरें... और उन्हें फिर से सत्ता में आने के लिए वोट दें !

In case of rains like in Konkan region every year, what if there is seepage in the undergrowth fuel tank at pump, vehicle owner is not aware of contamination and is buying fuel in faith that they are being provided assured quality. Who is answerable? @nitin_gadkari (2/n) #E20

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

If E20 fuel is compatible and the issue is with fuel quality we need to be able to check the fuel contamination before purchasing at pumps. The onus of providing correct, un-contaminated fuel is on the petrol pump. (1/n)

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@BesuraTaansane Sir while you might be right, being better than the worst is still Bad. We championed BJP at all levels but their ignorance to actual problems and only blaming Nehru for every issue is not the solution. BJP needs to be held accountable. We are informed and more responsible now.

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

If anything will lead to downfall of BJP in India it’s the greed and ignorance of Mr. Highway man and Mr. Daughter has a Soros funded NGO. Shame that @BJP4India is not looking out for the nation but becoming Congress party. Really Shameful.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

There is a press conference happening today on E20 b mly the expert group on behalf of the petroleum ministry.

I'm sure they won't be taking any questions. They will speak the same mumbo-jumbo : it's safe, energy security, lower crude import, more income to farmers, oil lobby, foreign hand blah blah and leave.

Even if they take question, no journalist will be smart enough to ask the real questions:

1. Why rolled out E20 when most of the vechiles weren't compliant.

2. Who will be responsible for wear and tear of non compliant cars. You'll say there are no reports world over for damage but that's because nowhere in the world have they introduced E20 without making sure that older vehicles have phased out and even then they kept the option of pure petrol for those few left with older cars. Ethanol corrodes non compliant cars. It's a known scientific fact. Why else would there is complaint cars if non compliant cars were as safe?

3. It was told ethanol blended fuel will be cheaper but it's costly than even erstwhile pure petrol because of mileage drop. People are buying more fuel for same useage.

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@HardeepSPuri sir you know a race car costs millions to run and only runs for a short span of time before its parts and engine being dismantled and repaired. You might be right about the ethanol being added there but older car engines are not capable of running on ethanol blend.

आइटी सेल के टट्टी टट्टू अब यह बता रहे हैं कि इथेनॉल UPA ले कर आई थी और राजपत्र दिखा रहे हैं!

अरे भड़वों! जब तर्क नहीं है तो लड़चट्टों चुप क्यों नहीं रहते तुम लोग? पिछले बारह वर्षों से सत्ता में तुम हो। नीति पर गंभीरता से कार्य आरम्भ हुआ 2018 में। ���ंजन बने 2023 में। और तुम दिखा रहे हो कि नीति तो 2007 में आई?

अच्छा तो ये बताओ कि 2001 और 2003 में किस पैर्टी की सरकार थी? क्या वो तब से E20-30-85 बेच रहे थे? तुमने तब भी जनता को कॉन्फिडेंस में नहीं लिया, और तुमने आज भी बिना बताए जनता के EMI पर लिए इंजनों का बलात्कार किया है।

क्या UPA वालों ने गडकरी और हरदीप पुरी से कहा था कि बिना जनता को बताए कि इथेनॉल कितना मिक्स है, पेट्रोल कह कर बेचो। और उन गाड़ियों में भी डलवाओ जो बिलकुल भी इसके लिए नहीं बने हैं।

तुम्हारे पाँव के नीचे से भूमि खिसक रही है, और तुम अभी भी कॉन्ग्रेस और नेहरू को ब्लेम करने की राह देख रहे हो। चुल्लू भर पानी में डूब जाओ हरामखोरों।

कितना PR करोगे @nitin_gadkari का? और ये तुम नहीं करते पर करना पड़ रहा है क्योंकि आँच @narendramodi तक जा रही है। कुछ भी हो जाए, मोदी के कुर्ते ���ा एक धागा हिलना नहीं चाहिए। बाकी देश में आग ही क्यों न लग जाए।

ऐसी भी क्या गुलामी करनी है बे? आत्मा तो मत बेचो दल्लों!

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@nitin_gadkari @narendramodi @HardeepSPuri you don't experiment on 140 crore Indians. We are not guinea pigs. You do a scientific study on limited sample size and first publish the results to the broader public. Shame on you. #ethanolblending

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@MumbaichaDon The problem is that none of the ministers are actually listening to criticism on this topic. All the proof is being shoved on the side while the minister with family business of ethanol production is pushing for his son's growth at the nation's cost.

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@nitin_gadkari @HardeepSPuri if any insurance company is rejecting an insurance claim due to E20 petrol usage. You both bloody make sure it gets approved or else people are going to sue you both personally for profiteering from policy implemented without logic. @jagograhakjago

[Aditya Paliwal @AdityaPaliwal02]

@airtelindia @reliancejio sms reminders, mail reminders, app reminders are sufficient to remind a person to recharge their plan. When I am calling a person, I intend to talk to them, your call interruption is irritating and makes me want to call everyone on WhatsApp over wifi.

[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

Dear @TRAI,

Imagine your recharge plan is going to expire in 2 days.

Imagine someone is following your sister late at night, and she is trying to call you for help.

Imagine you are injured on the road and desperately trying to call a family member.

But before the call even connects, telecom companies play long warnings like “your plan is expiring soon, please recharge” in two languages. During this warning, the actual call does not connect, and valuable time gets wasted.

In emergency situations, even a few seconds matter. These repeated recharge reminders are extremely frustrating.

We already know when to recharge. Customers should not be forced to listen to long, nonsensical warnings.

Please order all telecom companies to immediately stop these nonsense warnings before calls, or allow the call to connect while the warning plays in the background.

Be serious.

@BJP4India @narendramodi @PMOIndia as a tax paying law abiding citizen. We expect development and welfare but that doesn’t mean free cash to be distributed as an election promise to enable you to win seats. This is not fair to the taxpayers of India. Win at merit not bribery.
