Mileage is not distance divided by litres of fuel burnt. This is a misconception. You have to go to a service station where a special mileage computer can only tell the mileage. Science is done, now finish the maths
A YouTuber named Rider Veer Ji conducted a mileage test on a 2.5-year-old Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI Manual, comparing E20 Petrol and XP100 Petrol.
• E20 Petrol (20% Ethanol, ₹112/L) • XP100 Petrol (0% Ethanol, ₹167/L)
Test 1: 5L E20 Petrol
• Average Speed: 57 km/h • Distance: 97 km • Mileage: 19.2 km/l
Test 2: 5L XP100 Petrol
• Average Speed: 61 km/h • Distance: 116 km • Mileage: 23.2 km/l
Result:
XP100 covered 19 km more on the same 5 litres, delivering around 21% better mileage in this test.
Govt claim: E20 reduces mileage by 3–5%.
This test: ~19–21% lower mileage with E20.
@mohitlaws So simple that if I'm using same method both times.. and I see diff in mileage.. then whether it may be any method.. the outcome is that mileage has dropped.
Atleast acknowledge it u idiot @nitin_gadkari !
Do read this article. Govt was saying that ethanol saves forex. No. On the contrary, E20 decision is causing more forex outflow and no other benefit with huge costs and harassment to ordinary people.
