I'll just agree with the monty and leave it at that seeing as this is a pointless thread and because Toyota's poor engineering a fuel is considered crap.
Yes because it couldn't be the fuel, it HAS to be Toyota.

You seem to aggressively defend all things E10, more so than what I would consider normal for a consumer of a product. Just because you have personally had good experiences with E10 does not by any means mean that it is either good or does not cause issues for others.

Let's remember that what you are posting here is purely opinion, and opinions are not fact.

No not really it just gets a bit annoying on AFF when people will bag anything that isn't 98ron petrol. Yes its my opinion and I was actually opting out of this discussion because its a waste of time

I guess I should have quoted what the monty said

I can't run it through the work ute, fleet company advises against the use of any bio-fuel (Ethanol, Bio-Diesel) in their vehicles.
