  "account": "With rising consumer demand for lower-ethanol petrol, the government is considering whether premium fuels like XP95, Speed and Power95 could be available in an E10 formulation, according to three sources familiar with the talks. This move would avoid the need for new storage and dispensing facilities for E10 petrol, as many consumers are already opting for these higher-octane fuels due to concerns about regular E20 petrol.",
  "summary": "The talks assume significance as consumer concerns about the negative impact of E20 petrol on older engines and mileage persist despite the government’s assurances, sparking calls to bring back E10, considered more suitable for older vehicles.",
