MPs press government over non-E20-compliant owners not warned about mileage
MPs just pressed government officials on why owners of non-E20 compliant vehicles weren't told about possible mileage drops when using 20% ethanol-blended gasoline.
While the MPs agreed using more ethanol helps cut India's oil imports, the big question was whether anyone considered how this affects people's wallets, especially if their cars aren't built for E20 fuel.
Officials clarify E20 mileage loss 2%-6%
Officials cleared things up, saying the actual mileage loss with E20 is only about 2% to 6%, not the scary 25% some folks feared.
MPs wondered why complaints are rising now, even though the government claims similar fuel has been sold for more than two years.
Turns out, new rules allowing higher blends and worries over adulterated fuel might be behind the recent buzz.
Some MPs questioned why the government hadn't informed drivers, especially those with older cars.
