India Gets E85 Fuel, But Not Every Vehicle Can Use It
E85 is cheaper than petrol and cleaner to burn, but it is only for flex-fuel vehicles. Here’s what car and bike owners need to know before filling up.

Frequently Asked Questions About E85 Petrol
E85 fuel is a blend of 80–85% ethanol and 14–19% petrol. It is safe — but only for specially designed flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs). If your car or bike runs on regular petrol or E20, do not use E85 in it as the engine is not built to handle such high ethanol content.
