Multi-option fuel dispenser at an urban petrol pump.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called for consumers to have the choice of fuel variants at petrol pumps, including both pure petrol and E20 blended fuel. He further advocated for distinct pricing strategies for these options, suggesting that E20 fuel should be priced lower than pure petrol.
Kejriwal’s stance is based on the premise that E20 fuel, which contains 20% ethanol, may lead to reduced mileage and potential wear on vehicle components compared to pure petrol. By offering a choice and adjusting prices accordingly, he aims to address consumer concerns regarding the economic and practical implications of using the blended fuel.
The demand highlights a growing discussion around fuel blending policies and their impact on end-users, emphasizing the need for transparency and consumer-centric approaches in the energy sector.
