Sales of 100-octane petrol, the only ethanol-free fuel available in India, have more than doubled in recent months as concerns over E20 petrol spread among some vehicle owners through social media posts. Demand has surged despite the fuel costing around ₹160 a litre and being available at fewer than 1% of fuel stations. However, the government has clarified E20 does not cause widespread engine damage, though it may reduce fuel efficiency by 3–5%. #octanepetrol #e20 #ethanol #ethanolblending Important Playlists National News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YXb9Oh62yur4MRCdRLL6gCt Business News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YVXM88oXiuA1JMLZtODGP1y World News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YW0Swy6-R3i50F5FbtDRiEe BS Decoded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YWYuC7DEL8Lxl-rhiElowEE Want access to Business Standard’s premium insights?
