        abstract = {The widespread implementation of E20 petrol (20% ethanol, 80% petrol) serves as a strategic intervention to curb carbon emissions and fossil fuel reliance as specified in Reference [1]. However, transitioning to higher ethanol blends introduces operational challenges for two-wheelers as per study [2], which constitute a primary mode of transport in developing automotive markets. This study systematically evaluates the dual impact of E20 fuel on two-wheelers, focusing on fuel economy variations and material degradation within the fuel delivery system. The study consists of comparing the mileage of E20 Petrol with the Speed 100 (Pure Petrol) available in the market at different cost. Also, the maintenance issues while using both variants were compared as mentioned in Ref [3] and valid conclusions are arrived.},
