I realise that from September 1st here in the UK, the government has stated that standard unleaded petrol must contain 10% Ethanol.
Must contain 10%? That does not seem to be the case. It seems that E10 petrol will contain UP TO 10% ethanol.
I have tried various brands of E5 and tried 'super' and cannot detect a difference. Certainly the weather makes a bigger difference to how the car runs.
Well up to now, the lower grades of E5 RON 95 fuel from Supermarkets or Branded Sites have by my tests mostly contained nearly 5% Ethanol. It is cheaper for the oil companies to use Ethanol than petroleum so why will they not repeat this when E10 RON 95 is introduced?
