E20 mileage woes? E10 petrol could make a comeback through high-octane variants: What we know so far
Consumers are voicing concerns about the negative impact of E20 petrol on older engines and mileage, despite the government's assurances. Over the past few months, the calls to bring back E10 petrol have also grown.
The Union government and oil marketing companies are considering selling high-octane branded petrol, such as XP95, Speed, and Power95, as E10 fuel, according to sources. This move aims to provide a cheaper alternative for older vehicles while eliminating the need for separate E10 storage and dispensing infrastructure. The discussion comes as consumers are increasingly switching to high-octane alternatives due to concerns over the negative impact of E20 petrol on older engines and mileage.
Although the final decision has not been made, experts suggest that either a regular, cheaper E10 or a premium E10 could be offered as E10.
