United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver
E10 Petrol

There's a brief note in this month's Enjoying MG magazine stating that as from 1st September 2021 all UK fuel suppliers will have to convert to E10 petrol with an ethanol content of at least 5.5% and up to 10%. Does this cause a problem for any of our petrol powered vehicles?
They say that E5 will still be on sale but the catch is that it will only be required at service stations with more than one grade of petrol now and they must do over 1 million litres of petrol (presumably per year - the article didn't say). Robin

Hi Robin,

My fuel flap sticker states "E5 E10 98ron" even though I have only ever seen E5 with 97ron anyway.

not seen any E10 yet

not sure what my 1979 suzuki will think of it Question

Its going to be like going into a pub (one day!) and asking for a pint of beer and getting a shandy Laughing

I'm sure I read somewhere that all petrol cars produced from 2011 on had to be E10 fuel compliant but I might have that wrong ! 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Owner's handbook on my old 2013 RSS1 S/C definitely says fuels containing up to 10% ethanol can be used, said same thing in my old 09 plate sport as well.

Cheers

Australia 

In Australia we have had E10 for many years. On introduction the Government said that all cars produced from 1987 could be run on E10. LR was one company that disagreed and indicated that using ethanol would void warranties but the authorities indicated that was not going to happen and there have been no issues.

However, our E10 is not popular. It has a 94RON higher than our normal Unleaded of 91RON (we also have 95 and 98 RON) but the E10 calorific value is less than other fuels. Testing has shown that it is gives a worse MPG and even though it is cheaper than other fuels the cost per mile actually covered is worse than other fuels so as a result E10 is not popular.

Governments are dictating quotas on the amount of E10 to be sold but hasn't flowed to the browsers at this stage. 07MY RRS TDV6
