New Delhi : National convener of Aam Aadmi Party and former Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal He commented on the issue of ethanol in petrol in a press conference on Wednesday. Kejriwal, who has been raising the issue of ethanol in petrol for the past few days, said that he will write to 29 vehicle manufacturers and ask them to explain their stand on the issue.
Arvind Kejriwal said, in the owner’s manual of the companies, it is stated that the petrol used in vehicles manufactured before 2023 cannot be mixed with more than 10% ethanol. The government is doing wrong without considering the welfare of the public and it is causing damage to people’s vehicles. The government is being stubborn and not ready to understand the problems of the people. Kejriwal promised to reach out to the people on this issue.
He said that tomorrow he will visit some vehicle showrooms and discuss the matter with the showroom owners. They will talk to auto mechanics and people to get their opinion. It is not right to impose this on the public and the government should reconsider it, he added.

AAP has shared a satirical ‘BJP Petrol Pump’ receipt on social media. The party alleges that people are being charged full price for petrol, but are being given E-20 petrol mixed with 20 per cent ethanol. This can reduce mileage and increase vehicle maintenance costs.
What exactly is in the receipt?
The receipt states that E-20 petrol contains 80% petrol and 20% ethanol. It is also claimed that it costs the same as full petrol, but has less value and less impact on mileage.
Hidden Force in E-20 Petrol; Petition to the Supreme Court

Petition filed in court
Supreme Court lawyer and petitioner Narendra Kumar Goswami argued in the petition that the right to know the composition, quality, standards and consequences of consumption of a product is not just a fancy consumer slogan but a constitutional requirement, especially when the government itself imports such goods into the country.
