More than half of NDA supporters are reluctant to use E20 petrol, according to a C-Voter survey, underscoring persistent concerns over the Centre’s ethanol blending policy. The survey found 52.5% of NDA voters would not prefer E20 fuel, while 18.1% supported its use and 29.5% remained undecided. Around 50% of respondents feared E20 could damage vehicle engines, while many also expressed concerns about reduced mileage. The findings suggest apprehensions over vehicle performance continue to outweigh policy support, even among the ruling alliance’s voter base. Most respondents also said E20 petrol should be priced lower than regular fuel if it is to gain wider consumer acceptance across the country. (PC: Drivespark)
