New Delhi, June 5 -- More than a year after India completed the nationwide adoption of E20 petrol, meeting its target of 20 per cent ethanol blending well before the 2030 deadline, the impact on owners of older petrol vehicles is becoming increasingly apparent, a survey revealed on Friday.

A LocalCircles survey showed that many vehicle owners have reported reduced mileage and unusual wear and tear, which is now increasingly translating into a tangible financial cost. This comes despite the government's push towards greater ethanol use continuing to gather pace.

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
