E20 Petrol Debate: Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday said ethanol offers mileage comparable to petrol in city driving, reiterating the Centre’s push towards cleaner and more affordable alternative fuels.
In an exclusive interview with ABP News Executive Editor Megha Prasad, Gadkari said there is little difference between the mileage delivered by petrol and ethanol-blended fuel in urban conditions. “In cities, petrol and ethanol give almost the same mileage,” he said.
