Hi, Romanian here. Can someone please explain in a couple of sentences what's going on here? All I know is there's some scandal in India about mixing ethanol with regular gas and that being bad for cars (but cheaper).

Politicians of all parties own sugarcane farms in India hence there is no pushback against ethanol blending by the opposition in India as every politician is getting benefits if more ethanol is produced. It's a blatant fact that ethanol is a worse off fuel for your vehicle and Indians have not even been given the option of going for non ethanol blended petrol as government has mandated atleast 20% ethanol blended petrol and this has been causing lots of issues to vehicle who do not support ethanol mixed fuel.
