Nobody's asking the hard questions about
#Ethanol
- it has ~33% lower energy density than petrol. You WILL see worse fuel efficiency. You WILL feel a drop in power. And long-term? what about Pre 2022 cars which are barely E10 compliant?
Rubber seals, injectors, fuel pumps quietly degrading in engines never engineered for aggressive ethanol blends.
Reliability concerns that only show up after a few thousand kms.
And the poor car buyer? Told this is "green mobility" while silently absorbing every cost.
Also, what will happen to resale values of older non E20 compliant cars when the blend goes upto E25, E30 Etc in a couple of years?
Worse still, buyers have no choice at the pump but to buy E20 fuel. No option for E10 or E5.
A mandate without consumer protection, without transparent pump labelling, without honest disclosures really feels rushed.
The environment matters. Energy security is paramount too. But so is durability, efficiency and basic honesty.
