Fuel Grades..

[ZackCodesAI]

So, today the government of India banned BS3 grade fuel in the whole nation and the registration of BS3 vehicles, making BS3 grade vehicle sellers to sell those vehicles at heavy discounts.

Here you can get info about it.

The main question is, I have a BS3 grade vehicle, will I be able to use it with BS4 fuel, will there be any consequences ?

and most importantly, I could not understand what BS is? 

This may be only for Indian members only..

I've looked this up in the dictionary, and it seems to be "bullshit", trust me, I've done my research and I'm very good at these kinds of things

Well based on a quick googling, Bharat Stages are a way to restrict emissions on cars or vehicles in order to decrease pollution. In my knowledge, cars that originally use a different fuel and need to use another fuel usually have to be tuned for that specific fuel (i.e. 95 octane to e85).

Hopefully they're not trading more efficient fuel with unsustainable cornfields...

Spoiler

Like the USA has.

We started adding more ethanol into our fuel a few years back and we've let many acres unable to grow anything BUT corn due to the unsuitable soil and lack of crop rotation from its farming.
