Q. Can toyota urban cruiser 1.3 litre engine run on E10 petrol?

@ Dillip | As per the government report, if your car’s engine is engineered for zero percent blend but is used with 10 percent ethanol, it is projected to have a 6-7 percent drop in fuel efficiency. Similarly, if you use 20 percent blend on a 10 percent ethanol-engineered engine, it is expected to reduce the efficiency by 1-2 percent. The report suggests that 20 percent ethanol-engineered engines are also likely to experience lower fuel economy. The vehicles have to be heavily modified to get optimal performance and fuel economy in the case of flex fuel engine technology. It will further lead to an increase in the buying as well as maintenance cost, which won’t go well in our country. As per the report, the technology could increase the prices of cars in India by Rs 17,000 to Rs 25,000.
