E85 fuel has just been introduced in India. We've tested a Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 FFV on E20 and E85 and the findings are quite revealing. On this episode of the Autocar Deep Drive Podcast powered by Kotak Mahindra Prime, Hormazd Sorabjee - Editor, Autocar India - and Rishaad Mody - Editor - Bikes, Autocar India - discuss the test, if there's an economic case for E85 and the concern over higher ethanol base blends.
