Question 1

What is E20 petrol?

Accepted Answer

E20 is petrol blended with 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. India pushed it as the default retail fuel to cut oil imports and support domestic ethanol. The debate is not only about the blend — it is about making that blend the only practical option at most pumps.

Question 2

Are you against ethanol completely?

Accepted Answer

No. Ethanol blending can be a legitimate policy tool. Our demand is consumer choice: keep E20 available if the government wants it, but also sell E0 (100% petrol) — and clearly label what is in the nozzle. Forced single-option retail is the problem.

Question 3

Why are older vehicles more affected?

Accepted Answer

Most petrol bikes and cars sold before roughly 2023 were calibrated for lower ethanol blends (often E10 or less). Higher ethanol can mean lower mileage because ethanol has less energy per litre, and it can stress older rubber seals, hoses and fuel-system parts that were never designed for continuous E20.

Question 4

Is the mileage drop real?

Accepted Answer

Owner surveys say yes for many older vehicles. LocalCircles (June 2026, public) found 66% of pre-2023 petrol owners reporting more than a 10% mileage drop, including 23% of mileage respondents reporting over 20%. The government has acknowledged some efficiency hit for older vehicles while disputing widespread engine-destruction claims. We cite the survey — we did not invent the percentage. See Sources on this site.

Question 5

Can E20 damage my engine?

Accepted Answer

Immediate catastrophic failure is not what most owners report. What shows up more often is clogged injectors and filters, jerky running, stalling, and higher service bills. Long-term wear on non-compatible materials is the open question. Keep logs and invoices. A reported Raipur consumer-forum order (2026) linked repeated stalling after E20 to manufacturer liability in that case.

Question 6

What is E0 and why demand it?

Accepted Answer

E0 means unblended (100%) petrol. Demanding E0 at pumps restores a real option for vehicles that were never sold as E20-ready, and for owners who want to choose. Choice that only exists in a press release is not choice.

Question 7

Is E20 Janta Party a registered political party?

Accepted Answer

No. This website is an independent satirical / consumer-awareness project. It does not contest elections, solicit votes, or collect election funds. See the Disclaimer and Legal pages for the full position.

Question 8

What are your five demands?

Accepted Answer

Fuel choice (E0 alongside blends), fair pricing so choice is not a penalty, transparent ethanol labelling at the nozzle, public data on costs and impacts, and independent long-term studies with accountability from policymakers who own the rollout.

Question 9

What should I do if my vehicle is suffering?

Accepted Answer

Log mileage and fuel receipts. Get service reports in writing. Ask your dealer for a written warranty position on E20 for your model year. If defects persist and responsibility is denied, consumer forums are one lawful route. See the Take Action section on this site.

Question 10

Where do I contact this website?

Accepted Answer

This website is e20-jantaparty.org. Contact email: e20jantaparty@proton.me. It does not operate Instagram @e20_jantaparty — that handle is a third-party public reference only.
