Anand Ranganathan just completely dismantled the government's mandatory E20 fuel obsession, and every single vehicle owner needs to hear this. 🚨
We are constantly sold the narrative that 20% Ethanol blending is a massive economic masterstroke.
But here is the actual reality check for the consumer:
👉 The Mileage Drop: Ethanol has lower energy density than pure petrol. You are literally paying the exact same price for less power and lower mileage.
👉 The Engine Killer: Forcing E20 into older, non compliant engines causes severe corrosion and mechanical breakdown. The government hits its target, but you pay the massive repair bills.
👉 Coercion Over Choice: A free market thrives on options. Instead of offering E20 as a choice at the pump, it is being shoved down our fuel tanks via a mandatory backdoor tax on efficiency.
Economic progress requires choice, not state coercion.
Watch @ARanganathan72 lay down the absolute scientific facts on why the hidden costs of E20 far outweigh the hyped benefits. 👇

@piyush_trades When Strengthening Ambani and Adani is a trend in flex, weakening BSNL and other govt companies would be profitable for them.
Why would they care about 70 crores avg. Daily commuters?
Jio made a net profit of ₹30,000 crores last year, while Airtel made a net profit of ₹38,000 crores (approx).
A year before that, Jio had made a net profit of ₹26,000 crores, while Airtel had a net profit of ₹37,000 crores.
Let me remind you, these are the profits after all expenses and taxes. A total of ₹1.31 lakh crores in profit in just two years by both companies.
Still, they are planning to raise their recharge plan prices by 10-15%, even though they had increased prices last year too.
The govt needs to wake up and end this daylight robbery. It’s urgently needed to protect Indians by ending this duopoly through strengthening BSNL.

My neighbour is a cab driver in Mumbai. drives 14 hours a day. 6 days a week.
Last week heavy rain. he slipped on a wet platform. fractured his wrist.
Hospital bill came to 22000 rupees.
He has insurance through the aggregator app. he filed a claim. they rejected it. reason? he was not on a live trip when the accident happened. he was walking to his car after a drop off.
So the insurance only covers him when a passenger is inside the car. not when he is walking. not when he is eating. not when he is breathing.
He asked them to reconsider. they sent a generic email with a link to policy terms.
He is back on the road today with one hand. Because rent is due.
Meanwhile the aggregator CEO gave a press interview about how they are creating employment for millions.
Employment. not dignity. not safety. not life.
We celebrate gig economy like its progress.
Tell that to a man who is insured only when he is making money for someone else.
Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett on Ethanol blending in Petrol:
“Ethanol blending is a very stupid way to try and solve an energy problem.”
“It takes more fossil fuel energy to create ethanol than you can get out of ethanol you’ve created.”
- Charlie Munger. 2006.
Dear Epstein Boy @HardeepSPuri,
The energy density Ethanol is 26.8 MJ/kg, whereas Petrol is 46.4 MJ/kg. Which means theoretically, you need 1.74 litres of Ethanol to travel the same distance as with one litre of Petrol. If you think that mileage is going to be same with Ethanol and Petrol, you are mathematically unfit to stay in your position as Petroleum Minister. A school kid will do a better job than you.
You said "There is room for electric vehicles, biofuel blended vehicles, hybrid and CNG vehicles."
But there is room for Petrol vehicles. Provide us pure unleaded Petrol which was available before the greedy and uneducated lot took over India in 2014.
Just provide us pure Petrol first instead of Gadkari's alcohol. It's our right.
E20 गाड़ी लिया..5 लाख एक्स्ट्रा रुपया दिया हाइब्रिड सिस्टम के लिए..दो महीना में 3 टोयटा की हाइब्रिड गाड़ी लिया लेकिन सब बर्बाद हो गया...

Price of real petrol in 2020- Rs.75/L
Price of real petrol in 2026 - Rs.165/L
BJP introduced ethanol to hide their failure to control the fuel prices. Never expected this.
Everyone is a Modi Bhakt, unless they get a dose of Ache din directly.
Famous Modi Bhakt has got his Innova Hycross engine damaged. 40 Lakh rupee worth hybrid car damaged because of water in Ethanol and complete absence of Petrol in the fuel.
@nitin_gadkari and @narendramodi are the most hated people in the country right now.
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.
@MIB_India Sir/Ma'am someone was saying govt via RTI refused to make research public.
Why not make it public and shut up all the #antinationals who is doing the character assassination of Gadkari Ji and Puri Ji.
I am also hearing disturbing news on Modi renamed as #MonendraModi
यह तानाशाही नहीं तो क्या है? जब बाईक स्वामी अपने पेपर डिजी लॉकर पर दिखा रहा है फिर भी उसकी बाईक सीज कर रहे हैं?
वैसे जागरुक बनिए, वीडियो बनाइए हर कार्यवाही प�� बिना हिचकिचाए क्योंकि 100-500 के लिए यह लोग आपके साथ बहुत बड़ा नुक्सान कर सकते हैं।
मोदी सरकार के ल���ए पूरा देश एक experiment lab है। लोगों पर जबरदस्ती E20 पेट्रोल थोपा जा रहा है। Ethanol से लोगों की गाड़ियां बंद पड़ रही हैं, parts खराब हो रहे हैं और mileage गिर रहा है। लोगों में बहुत ज़्यादा गुस्सा है।
मैं प्रधानमंत्री जी को इस विषय पर चिट्ठी लिखने जा रहा हूँ। आप सभी लोग मुझे DM और कमेंट करके बताइए कि मुझे चिट्ठी में क्या लिखना चाहिए..
