Also no one seems to be mentioning the how e10 95 Ron unleaded will actually increase fuel bills as its less fuel efficient than e5 95 ron unleaded.

Ethanol isn’t as energy dense as petrol, which means that the fuel-air mix could be leaner and in an car that can't adjust itself. Its been proven plenty in Australia where they have had 10% ethanol 95 Ron since 2017 and fuel economy has dropped nationwide!

Like a 1.8 k series that don't have a knock sensor which is why unless it's mapped anything other than 95 Ron is a waste in them.

Nice way of looking like its better for the world, when it's only better for the petrol companies and the tax man.

Oh and don't forget ethanol absolutely destroys catalyst systems, so expect some expensive repairs when people start failing annual emissions suddenly!

Nice way of seing old cars scraped by the average owner who won't understand.

Exactly the same fiasco thats happened with biodiesel.
