A Perfect Blend?

No matter what the experts advise- stay calm, breathe deeply, count backwards, the information overload always finds a way to get to you. And often, it gets to you in more ways than one. The aftermath of the information explosion. We're feeling too much and thinking too little. A constant barrage of half-baked trending information keeps pushing us from one outrage to the next, with little time left for reflection. Obviously, comprehension, in all of this, is collateral damage. When every blue tick is pushing information down your throat, how can we differentiate between news, information, wisdom and analysis? What we are all experiencing in the midst of ethanol blending news is the over blending of overly fermented opinions. So, in case you came looking for an opinion here, you might be disappointed. Not that there isn't one, it isn't in your preferred colour, black or white. In the world of 8K screens, where you have the option to see a billion colours, why just two shades? So, let's start with the whats and the ifs. What is it? Is it good or bad? Will it damage the fuel line or pump? Is it going to bust the cylinders open or blow a gasket midway?

First things first, the debate around the validity of E20 blending has been largely settled. The petition against E20 blending has been dismissed by the Supreme Court. Government agencies and Secretaries had already made it very clear that the fuel stations across the country are retailing E20 fuel. And, there won't be a separate dispenser for different blends. E20 is the new baseline now. According to some of the recent television soundbites from the government representatives, the question of providing a separate dispenser or a nozzle for various levels of blending is still under consideration. Even that remains a possibility, not a confirmed agenda for the discussion.
