In standard tuned cars you should notice little or marginal difference between the 98 Octane fuels. There are come cars have with smart ECUs like the WRX that can adjust settings depending on the fuel being used. However with modified cars you should continue to use the same density type fuel the car was tuned in. It sounds like with your nephews car it was tuned with Optimax and BP Ultimate.

The E10 blends (10% Ethanol) have been supported for use by all four of the major players in this country - Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi and Toyota for vehicles manufactured after 1986. A small increase in actual consumption is likely given the fuel is not as dense and has a lower calorific value.
CO emmisions are reduced by 32% and HC by 12% and the fuel is considered to be greenhouse neutral. The E5 blends like Boost 98 are probably likely to gain better initial acceptance at the consumer level especially as there is a price discount to "normal" 98 octane fuel. The concerns with blends above 10 % relate primarily to the water absorption properties of Ethanol which is why it is not recommended for use in marine applications - aircraft are a similar issue with the main concern being seperation of water and fuel within the tank and difficulty in maintaining adequate mixtures at altitude.

I did Sydney to Newcastle and running around there for the day and back to Syd last night. DTE was at least 100k's less than 98octane. I don't bother about how many litres otherwise I wouldn't own a fuel drinker ! :sm_headba
