Will E20 fuel impact your car's mileage? Here's what experts say
Worried about 20% Ethanol Blended Petrol (E20) messing with your car's mileage or lifespan?
The government says there's no need to stress—E20 actually boosts acceleration and ride quality, plus it cuts carbon emissions by approximately 30% compared to the older E10 blend.
They also point out that how you drive and maintain your vehicle matters more for mileage than the fuel itself.
Transition to E20 won't affect insurance claims
E20's higher octane is good news for modern engines, and even older cars can handle it with regular servicing.
The switch to E20 is part of India's climate push, aiming to lower pollution while supporting farmers who grow crops like sugarcane and maize for ethanol.
And if you're wondering—using E20 won't mess with your insurance claims.
The transition plan runs until October 2026, after which things will be reviewed.
