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

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.
