@IndianGems_ If E20 is genuinely superior, there should be nothing to fear from offering E10 as an option. Let consumers compare mileage, performance, and value, then decide for themselves.

"We will not offer consumers a choice between Pure Petrol, E10, and E20." — Government

@pradip103 Calling every consumer concern "fake news" isn't an answer. If E20 is truly superior, provide both E10 and E20 and let consumers decide based on their own experience.

It is becoming aptly clear that an entire organized fake news campaign is been run to stop India achieve Energy Self Sustainance in long run! Those who claimed that -" Ethanol Blended Petrol " resulted in their cars been halted midway have been caught lying! The response of Toyota the other day; & now with experts arriving at consensus that consciously motivated individuals are trying to spread misinformation by using adulterated fuel! Only fact is Ethanol Blended Petrol reduces carbon emission; improves accelaration in the long run. Mileage is a component of many factors; & there is no large drop in mileage. Ethanol Blended Petrol helps farmers; & benefits India's middle class!

@IndianGems_ Are we just puppets? Why is the Petroleum Minister openly saying consumers won't be given a choice? What is the problem with providing both fuel options and letting people decide what they want to use?

@REDBOXINDIA And what about our hard earned investment on our vechicle? We are not puppet we want choice or resign from your post

GOVT RULES OUT PURE PETROL, E10; E20 TO REMAIN INDIA’S STANDARD FUEL The Centre has said it will not offer consumers a choice between pure petrol, E10 and E20. According to the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, maintaining three parallel petrol grades across India’s fuel distribution network would be operationally complex, costly, and would undermine the significant investments already made in ethanol production and blending infrastructure.

@REDBOXINDIA & we will rule out the bjp in the upcoming elections, their arrogance needs to be taken down

@NewsAlgebraIND Now again take the meeting and fulfill the public demand #Optionmustbegiven #Ethanol10%

NITIN GADKARI : "I didn't make the decision on ethanol alone. The entire process is conducted after consultation with the Petroleum Ministry, the Cabinet, and the scientific research"

@pradip103 The government keeps citing Brazil, but ignores the biggest difference: Brazil built a flex-fuel ecosystem that gave consumers a choice. why should I be forced to use E20? It's my vehicle, my money, and my choice. Offer E0, E10, and E20, and let consumers decide.

India Needs Ethanol Blended Petrol for Long Term Energy Security! Middle class; & farmers will benefit. Pollution will reduce! Accelaration of car will improve; India's Oil Dependence will come down with time! Is there a larger conspiracy to stop India's Ethanol Blended Program? Watch:

@pradip103 Acceleration will improve what a joke 😂

@PIB_India E20 mainly advances government energy and agricultural policy, but many consumers bear the cost through lower fuel economy and reduced fuel choice.

𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗹 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲- 𝗤&𝗔 🔹The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had already issued a detailed clarification on the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme through a press release on 23rd June, 2026, addressing the misinformation and providing factual clarifications. Automobile manufacturers also issued clarifications regarding the programme during a press conference held on 4th July, 2026. 🔹Despite these clarifications, certain concerns have continued to be raised regarding the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme. The following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) provide factual and evidence-based responses to these concerns.

We did not invent ethanol. More than a century ago, Henry Ford designed the Model T to run on ethanol, and countries across the world, including Brazil and the United States, have used ethanol blends for decades. ➔Equally important, India's ethanol blending programme did not begin under the present government. The initiative has a long institutional history and milestones (all are available in public domain – some are placed at Annexure-1) Read here: pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa… @PetroleumMin

@PremiumIndex @being_ab99 @PIB_India And what about car fuel pump failure?

@being_ab99 @PIB_India i m not fan of e20 but this math is rigged. It fakes a 20% mileage drop, pretending ethanol provides zero energy. Real E20 mileage only drops ~7% (14kmpl). For 1000km, you need 71.4L of E20. Since it's 80% petrol, that's 57.1L of actual petrol. It saves 9.5L of crude!

Shri Nitin Gadkari ji has just admitted that E20 blended petrol can harm your vehicles washers! Shri Hardeep Puri ji has said your gasket may have to be changed in 30,000 kms instead of 50,000. Are our vehicles their ministries ke "Baap ka Maal"! Till yesterday Nitin Gadkari ji was challenging us get one person just one who is affected by E20-blended petrol ? What if the vehicle has aged parents, young kids or a pregnant women or just you & it breaks down! What about the inconvenience? #EthanolScam

@HPCL Please shut up.

Service data matters more than speculation. In FY 25-26, over 4 crore vehicles were serviced, including 1.5 crore older, non-E20-certified vehicles. The result was clear: no E20-linked corrosion, no abnormal wear, and no component-life damage. That is not a guess, it is real-world evidence from vehicles already on the road. For owners still unsure, this is the kind of proof that should settle the debate. E20 concerns may be loud online, but the data tells a different story. @HardeepSPuri @PetroleumMin @TheSureshGopi @Secretary_MoPNG @neerajmittalias #HPCL #E20 #FightMisinformation #TrustVerifiedFacts #EthanolBlending

@neha_laldas He should resign his post

Hardeep Singh Puri admits: "E20 does lead to wear & tear of auto components in E10 vehicles!" Mr. Puri, 1. You are not ready to lower E20 prices. 2. E20 mileage is lower too. So effectively, ppl pay for auto components replacement + more fuel. Ye paise aap doge ya Mr. Gadkari?

@business_today Yes, I am also shifted from normal petrol to XP100 for my car and bikes getting a bit good mileage

Consumers shift to premium petrol amid E20 concerns; demand doubles at Delhi fuel stations: Sources ow.ly/2Z6b106AMQg

@REDBOXINDIA No. We want options, not assurances. Consumers should have the right to choose the fuel that suits their vehicles. We will not settle until that choice is restored.

GADKARI SAYS CARMAKERS TO REPLACE WASHERS DAMAGED BY E20 FUEL AT NO EXTRA COST, DISMISSES DAMAGE CLAIMS AS EXAGGERATED

Absolutely correct. We are importing ethanol from US not for blending but for industrial use.

@PTI_News Elect a joker, expect a circus.

STORY | E20 may cut mileage by up to 5% but offers cleaner combustion, energy security benefits: Oil Ministry Petrol blended with 20 per cent ethanol (E20) can reduce fuel economy by 3-5 per cent in some vehicles, the Oil Ministry said on Friday, but argued the impact is outweighed by benefits, including a higher octane rating, superior anti-knock characteristics, faster combustion, better pickup, smoother acceleration, cleaner engine operation, and lower lifecycle carbon emissions. In a detailed question-and-answer document issued to counter criticism of the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said E20 was a "cleaner, higher-quality and more efficient fuel" than E10 or pure petrol and had been rolled out only after years of scientific testing, consultations with automobile manufacturers and the expansion of domestic ethanol production. The ministry rejected concerns that the programme had been implemented too quickly, saying India's ethanol blending initiative dates back to pilot projects launched in 2001, with 5 per cent blending introduced in parts of the country by 2006.
