  "summary": "The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has sought to allay concerns over ethanol-blended petrol, stating that vehicle mileage depends on several factors and cannot be attributed solely to fuel. Driving habits, traffic, vehicle maintenance, tyre pressure, and AC usage all play a role, the ministry said in a post on X on August 15. The ministry also confirmed that E20 petrol, which contains 20% ethanol blended with petrol, has undergone extensive testing and validation, covering parameters such as engine durability, drivability, startability, corrosion resistance, material compatibility, emissions, and fuel efficiency.",
