E-10 ethanol/Petrol

If you want ethanol-free petrol, look on the Esso website. Their Synergy 99+ is ethanol-free as noted in this month's Practical Classics.
Don't forget that there has been ethanol in petrol for several years, so your car has already been exposed to it. I've had to replace the fuel lines on my lawnmower and strimmer which it has rotted. Fortunately, my 75 has had no such problems and is compatible with E10 according to the govt. compatibility checker. A good idea to fill up with Esso 99+ if the car is parked up over the winter, IMHO.
