its the seals and rubber it affects so hence older engines especially those with carburettors. Hence why lawnmowers are affected.
you could have course change all the seals and fuel pipes and make any car unaffected by the e10

It's running Suzuki throttle bodies and I've used R9 fuel hose everywhere.
Can somebody check my math here pls.
E10 fuel has 5.26% less petrol than E5 (90% vs 95%), so that means if my local garage sells Premium for £1.23 than as long as their Super is £1.29 or less it's better to just buy Super right? (123p x 1.0526 = 129.47p).
To be clear I know I'm not good at math
hence asking what formula I should be using to figure out the most cost effective.

It might work out better value just using super in everything now, as you also get more additives and a longer shelf life from it for a healthier engine in the long run.

Doesn't quite work like that. The economy difference (and Stoich value) between E5 & E10 is 1.9%
It will be bigger between E10 95 and E5 99 though.

They'll be giving us plant based engine oil soon, the scoundrels

or esso's "E5" but actually 0% 99...
Man of Honour
If they're 5% and 10% ethanol respectively no it won't.
Very few if any engines are knock limited where a lower octane rating hurts BSFC
Yea. But NO!
My local essonne ramped the 99 price from £1.45 last week to £1.56 as of 3 days ago.
Why?
They wouldn't tell me.
I have discovered a drawback to E10 for my own personal situation.
The local station where I often fill up with super only has it available on 4 of the 12 pumps. Now everyone who thinks E10 will instakill any car older than 2010 is queuing up to use those pumps and I have to wait longer

Why can't people just check on the website like they're directed to?

That's government propaganda. They're waiting for "the truth" from their mate Dave's second cousin's brother in law via FaceBook. Cause he used to work at an MOT place.
Man of Honour
Fixed that for youCause he used to work at an MOT place on reception and has never seen the inside of anything mechanical.

No different than when leaded was phased out - just use an additive.
I do..
Don
Is there an additive for E10 for older cars?
I use this one.
