The E20 question

‘Il be honest, like many of you, this outcry over the E20 fuel rollout has crept up on me unexpectedly. That probably sums up the gist of this issue. This policy of raising the ethanol content in fuel to 20 per cent was meant to be rolled out fully by 2030, but this change seems to have been fast tracked significantly. The effect has been that many users have now been left somewhat in the lurch, with their cars not being compatible with this. For those of you who have bought cars built after April 2023, this may not be of much concern, but as it stands, the mandated life cycle of a petrol car in India is 15 years.

MALAYSIA DIECAST EXPO 2025 SHRUNK DOWN, AMPED UP

There's something wildly entertaining - bordering on spiritual - about watching grown adults lose their composure over pocket-sized cars. Not toys, mind you. Call them that and you'll be excommunicated faster than a fake Super Treasure Hunt listing on OLX. These are die-cast models - carefully curated, obsessively stored, and sometimes spoken to like pets. And for many, including yours truly, they're both time machine and trophy case.
