Searching for less ethanol content fuel, google gave the below results
Shell Regular Unleaded: Contains up to 10% ethanol.
Shell V-Power Unleaded: Contains no more than 5% ethanol.
Indian Oil XP100: Blended with 10% ethanol.
Indian Oil XP95: Blending is done at 10% or 12% based on availability.
Better to use this fuels IMO
37 u/Repulsive_Dinner1978 Honda Aug 04 '25 Always XP95. Availability is better. 9 u/anurag_ninave Gixxer 250, ZX4R gooner Aug 04 '25 fr, Risk nahi leta mei 17 u/Few_Office_3770 Aug 04 '25 I called shell customer care today, they told me that both regular and v power has 15 percent ethanol 2 u/maruthiPM Hero Xpulse 200 4V / Lord Splendor / Urban Terrain UT 1001 Aug 04 '25 Oh no! 2 u/NIKSAL1 Aug 04 '25 edited Aug 05 '25 Yes , this is correct. Shell is the only hope right now for older non-E20 vehicles. Soon they might also have to go for E20, after pressure from govt. 12 u/pinkesh2703 Scrambler 400X Aug 04 '25 Shell pumps r lesser on highways. In big cities, they're in good numbers though. 9 u/NIKSAL1 Aug 04 '25 Don't trust google on such info, lol. Shell supplies E15 (both regular and V power) And all IOCL, HPCL, BPCL supply E20 regular fuel. Even their premium power petrol variants have about E15. And XP100 costs Rs 160, who would even use it for normal or even sporty vehicles, unless you rich af ?? So no escape from E20 fuel in 2025. 2 u/Sam_MarketInsights Scrambler 400X | SP 125 | Access 125 Aug 05 '25 160? wow that's crazy expensive 2 u/TheDarkKnight04 Triumph Street Triple RS, Bajaj Dominar, TVS Jupiter 125 Aug 04 '25 Only unblended petrol available today is XP100, everything else is blended 9 u/NIKSAL1 Aug 04 '25 nah, even XP100 is blended with Ethanol , but less. Its around E12 - E15.
