- E20 petrol may cut mileage by up to 5% but offers cleaner combustion, energy security benefits: Ministry
The Ministry states that E20 petrol may reduce mileage by up to 5% but offers cleaner combustion and energy security benefits. It dismissed concerns about rapid implementation, noting the ethanol blending initiative began with pilot projects in 2001 and 5% blending was introduced in parts of the country by 2006.
