The government mixed ethanol in petrol for the welfare of us Indians, and then car lovers started a drama.

“The car is not giving mileage,” “The performance has gone down,” “I just ran out of ”fun” such complaints are heard everywhere.

But friends, just wait. The thing that you are finding “adulterated” is the energy drink of the world’s craziest muscle car. Yes, we’re talking about the Dodge Demon 170 a car that runs on normal petrol and is a monster, and once you add E85 ethanol fuel, it becomes a beast from another planet.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the secrets of ethanol fuel, witness the magic power of the Demon 170, and discuss its future in India.

Dodge Demon 170

The name Dodge Demon immediately brings to mind one thing: pure American muscle car madness. This car is already a legend for its supercharged V8 engine and drag racing DNA.

But when the company launched its 170 Edition, the world was literally shocked. Why?

Because this is the first production car specially made for ethanol-based fuel (E85).

When it runs on normal petrol, it delivers 900 horsepower.
But when it runs on E85 fuel, it unleashes 1025 horsepower.

This is no ordinary car, man. Its 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine with supercharger is absolutely magical. It can tell what’s inside just by smelling the fuel. If you fill it with normal premium petrol (like our E10), it delivers 900 horsepower which is amazing in itself. But as soon as you fill it with E85 (85% ethanol), this car becomes a complete monster! It unleashes a storm of 1025 horsepower, so much power that even a Bugatti Veyron starts gasping in front of it.

Meaning, brother, the thing that people are ignoring by calling it “adulteration” is the turbo booster for the Demon.

What is Ethanol Fuel?

Now let’s understand in a little detail.

Ethanol Basics

Ethanol is a biofuel made from sugarcane, corn, and other crops.
It is renewable and slightly better for the environment than regular petrol.
20% ethanol blending is currently in use in India (E20 fuel).

Ethanol Formula

E20 fuel → 20% ethanol + 80% petrol (India’s current plan).
E85 fuel → 85% ethanol + 15% petrol (common in the USA/Europe, perfect for the Demon 170).

Now imagine, if people in India are still making a living on just 20% ethanol, then to run a monster like the Dodge Demon 170, you’ll need a completely different petrol pump.

Dodge Demon 170’s Supercharger Magic

Let’s do some technical fun now in simple words.

Supercharger – Engine Magic

The Demon 170’s real weapon is its massive supercharger.

Normal petrol is detected → the car controls its power (900 HP).

As soon as *E85 fuel is detected, the car’s computer gives the engine a more aggressive tune.

Result?

Jumping straight from 900 HP to 1025 HP.

This is the same engineering where “ethanol = mixed” becomes “ethanol = performance booster.”

Now imagine, the ethanol we often denigrate as “adulterated” becomes this car’s engine’s energy drink. The engine detects the ethanol and directly tells the supercharger, “Brother, turn on full power!” And just like that, the same Dodge Demon that once produced 900 horses on regular petrol now puts out a whopping 1,025 horses on E85. This is called engineering marvel.

E85 Fuel = Energy Drink for Demon 170

Imagine you’re a marathon runner. If you run on water alone, you’ll survive, but if you find an energy drink, you’ll get double the power.

That’s the same scenario with the Demon 170.

Normal petrol = Water.
E85 Ethanol petrol = Red Bull + Monster Energy + Coffee combined.

And that’s when the Demon 170 became a car in the world that even hypercars like the Bugatti Veyron can’t match in a drag race.

Ethanol Fuel and India – Reality Check

Now, after hearing all this, the obvious question is, “Brother, is all this possible in India?”

Government Plan

India’s E20 fuel target is to be achieved by 2025.

This means only a 20% ethanol blend will be used for now.
E85 fuel is currently difficult to make available in India.

Car Enthusiasts’ Problem

Mileage is slightly reduced.
Performance is affected differently by each car.
Not every engine is optimized for ethanol (only cars like the Demon 170 can handle it).

But brother, the truth is that ethanol fuel is eco-friendly and will reduce petrol imports in the long term.

Dodge Demon 170 vs. Bugatti Which Is Best?

People said, “There’s no car faster than the Bugatti Veyron.”

But the Dodge Demon 170 proved that the “true king of the drag strip” can also be a muscle car.

Bugatti Veyron: Hypercar with 1000+ HP and a top speed of 400+ km/h.
Dodge Demon 170: Muscle car with 1025 HP on ethanol fuel, but unbeatable in drag race acceleration.

Meaning, brother, homemade jugaad + ethanol = Bugatti fail.

Ethanol Fuel Myths—What People Think vs. Reality

❌ Myth 1: Ethanol only kills mileage.

✅ Reality: Mileage is slightly reduced, but it balances performance and efficiency.

❌ Myth 2: Ethanol only damages the engine.

✅ Reality: If the engine is ethanol-compatible (like the Demon 170), it is the engine’s superfood.

❌ Myth 3: Ethanol is an adulterant.

✅ Reality: Ethanol is a planned blending strategy that reduces pollution.

Kya India Mein Dodge Demon 170 Possible Hai?

Currently, no.

Reasons:

Fuel Availability—India currently only has E20 fuel.
Regulations—Importing such high-performance cars is expensive and restricted.
Market Demand—Most people in India look for mileage and affordability, not drag racing monsters.

But if E85 fuel stations come to India in the future and enthusiasts demand them, it’s not difficult to see cars like the Demon on Indian roads.

Demon 170 = Ethanol Ka Superhero

So friends, next time someone says, “Ethanol is adulterated; the car will be ruined,” be sure to cite the Dodge Demon 170 as an example.

Because this car has proven:

Ethanol fuel is not only an eco-friendly option but also a performance booster.
If the engineering is right, even “adulteration” can become magic.
And for car lovers, the Demon 170 is a story they will always remember.

So next time you’re at the petrol pump, grimacing at the ethanol, remember the Dodge Demon 170. This car teaches us that sometimes “adulteration” can be the secret to true power. What do you say? Get ready to feel the excitement.

What do you think, friends is ethanol fuel a booster for the future or just a drama? Share your opinion in the comments.
