> one of the most trusted automotive you tuber rider veer ji conducted mileage tests comparing ethanol-blended petrol with XP100.
> he found around a 19–20% drop in mileage on ethanol-blended fuel.
> his test covered 97 km on 5 litres of ethanol-blended fuel, compared to 116 km on 5 litres of XP100.
> hardeep singh puri and nitin gadkari have also acknowledged that higher ethanol blends can reduce fuel efficiency.
> so if your car earlier ran around 750 km on a full tank, it may now run only around 600–610 km under similar conditions.
> lower mileage means you’ll have to refuel more often, increasing your fuel cost per kilometre.
> consumers continue to pay fuel taxes on every litre while getting fewer kilometres from each litre than before.
> a fuel policy shouldn’t be judged only by blending targets or litres of ethanol mixed into petrol.
> it should also be judged by cost per kilometre, engine compatibility across different vehicles, long-term maintenance and whether consumers are actually saving money.
> if many motorists are voluntarily paying extra for premium fuels like XP100 to avoid mileage loss or performance concerns, that indicates a lack of confidence in regular petrol among at least a section of consumers.
> any policy that shifts the economic burden onto consumers through lower fuel efficiency deserves to be suspended with immediate effect
> if a policy makes people pay more to drive the same distance, calling it a success is propaganda, not governance 🙏🏻
All we want is not to loose him .
These so called politicians and journalists who consider themselves great and vocal are where when all we want is answer .
We don’t really want another so called debate or social media propaganda to be run after we loose him .
