Bhaiyo aur unki behno, aajkal market mein ek naya lafda chal raha hai—ye E20 aur E85 fuel ka kya chakkar hai? Log confuse hain ki gaadi mein kya dalwayen jisse fayda ho aur jeb par bhi bhari na pade. Chalo, aaj iska poora kacha-chitha kholte hain ekdum simple bhasa mein.
Pehle Samjho: Ye Ethanol Ka Asli Chakkar Kya Hai?
Dekho yaar, ethanol ka sabse bada scene ye hai ki ye gasoline (petrol) se sasta padta hai. Aur sabse badhiya baat? Apne desh mein banta hai, yaani ekdum Swadeshi maal hai! Isse pollution bhi kam hota hai.
Ek aur technical baat bataun—isaki Octane Rating baki fuel se kaafi zyada hoti hai. Iska matlab samajhte ho? Agar tumhari gaadi ka engine is hisab se tune kiya gaya hai na, toh ye tumko ek number performance nikal kar dega!
Lekin, Ek Twist Hai...
Har achhi cheez ke sath thoda jhol toh hota hi hai. Petrol (Gasoline) ka mileage hamesha zyada hota hai kyunki uski Energy Density tagdi hoti hai. Matlab, agar tum barabar matra mein petrol aur ethanol loge, toh petrol tumko zyada energy nikal ke dega. Ek litre petrol se gaadi jitne kilometre chalegi, ek litre pure ethanol se utna lamba nahi khich payegi.
Sasta Kaun Sa Padega? Chalo Hisab Lagate Hain!
Tumhare dimaag mein chal raha hoga na ki boss, jeb ke liye sasta kaun sa hai? Chalo dukan wala hisab lagate hain:
- Maan lo, 1 Litre Petrol se tumhari gaadi chalti hai 50 km.
- Wahi, 1 Litre Ethanol se chalegi sirf 40 km.
Ab agar petrol ₹100 ka hai aur ethanol ₹80 ka mil raha hai, toh dono mein tumhara kharcha ₹2 par kilometre hi aayega. Matlab baat barabar!
Fayda tabhi hoga jab ethanol tumko aur sasta, yaani lagbhag ₹60 mein mile, tab tumhara kharcha ₹1.5 par kilometre aayega.
Brazil Wala Formula: Brazil mein log ekdum solid dimaag lagate hain. Agar E85 fuel unko E20 ke mukable 70% ke daam par milta hai, toh hi woh E85 dalwate hain, nahi toh E20 se hi kaam chala lete hain.
India vs Brazil: Itihaas Se Seekho!
India mein ab E85 (Flex Fuel) ka mahool banne laga hai. Sarkar ka plan hai ki 2026 ke end tak 500 petrol pumps par aur 2027 ke end tak poore 5000 pumps par E85 milne lage. Market mein kuch Flex-Fuel gaadiyan aur bikes bhi aane lagi hain.
Lekin Brazil ne ye sab 1970s mein hi dekh liya tha. Us time wahan fuel crisis tha, toh unhone socha—“Apne yahan ganna (sugarcane) bohot hota hai, chalo ethanol banate hain!”
Shuru mein toh unhone aisi gaadiyan banayi jo sirf pure ethanol par chalti thi. Khoob biki bhi! Lekin phir kya hua?
- Ganna ethanol mein zyada jaane laga, toh chini (sugar) mehengi ho gayi.
- Dhire-dhire ethanol bhi mehenga ho gaya.
- Ek time aisa aaya ki pumps se ethanol gayab hi ho gaya, aur jinhone woh gaadiyan khareedi thi, woh fass gaye!
Phir Aayi Flex-Fuel Gaadiyan!
Sarkar ko samajh aa gaya ki janta ko kisi ek fuel par nirbhar nahi rakh sakte. Phir 2003 ke aas-paas wahan aayi Flex-Fuel Vehicles. Ye aisi gaadiyan hain jo E20, E30, ya E85—kisi bhi fuel par maze se chal sakti hain. Janta ki jo marzi ho, pump par jaakar dalwa lo! Apne India mein bhi abhi yahi trend chal raha hai.
Toh Agla Scene Kya Hai?
Ab tum sochoge ki boss, jab mileage kam hai toh koi E85 kyun chunega? E85 ke apne bohot saare fayde hain, par sath hi ye tumhari normal gaadi ko damage bhi kar sakta hai agar gaadi uske liye na bani ho.
