If you drive a bit enthusiastically I find economy in a few cars i have driven to be not just 10% worse but more like 30% worse for the same speed.
Remember NEVER use it in your boat or plane... |

So what are you going to use when it runs out ??? An old engine tuned to run on it runs better than unleaded... Richer mixture and a little more advance as it's slower burning than ULP... Which is why in some cases engines hesitate when there's no load.. This can be tuned out tho... Yes consumption does go up a little... But I'd rather see rich Aussies than rich Arabs... Yep ethanol does clean.. It also mixes with water if there's any in the tank! Which is bad news on boats and planes where there's heaps of condensation...

Hi. Other than a slight increase in consumption which was offset by the cheaper price when first introduced I have had no problems but the local Shell servo is no longer selling it and is switching all E10 pumps to diesel. If they could get rid of the lingering diesel smell I to would think about switching but I cant see that happening for a while. Cheers MD

E10 is fine, easily better than 91 octane. If I'd run it all the time I'd swap a e85 compatiable filter in at my regular service interval.

What happens to the price of E10 fuel when the government decides there's enough of a captive market for it (when most servo's have stopped selling plain unleaded), and drops the huge taxpayers subsidies on it, and we see the true cost of producing it included in the bowser price...?
That should be interesting... |
