Hi.
I extensively use BP as it is one that is discussed on other fora as being one of the E5 only suppliers.
The problem I have now is the Fiat gives me over 30 miles more on each gallon than did MFL, whereas I'd be putting petrol in every week now it's less so for me E10 would be a bigger problem, If you click on my signature you'll see the fuel up's I've done so the downside of a more economical petrol car is the Ethanol going off!! Fortunately for me the car has been designed to accommodate a petrol/ethanol mix but the Petrol 75's along with countless other cars of the time wont, its not all down to fuel air ratio either, the plastics, hoses, injectors and other material in the fuel system can be degraded by Ethanol.
Perhaps if the 75 was exported to Brazil for example where Ethanol fuel has been used for years it might be an idea to see what Rover did to the cars for that market. Of course assuming they sold there anyway.
