Hello Everyone

I have search other post and nothing on E10...
E10 is suppose to get u slightly less km per ltr
its been said in a few fuel threads
i'd say this is quite normal
but i'd thought u'd get more fuel out of an FD
depends on how u drive etc
are u calculating it properly?
how much ltrs u filling up with 380km on clock?
What is your mileage when you use regular 91 RON?
i used to pump V Power. used to get 420 -450 km/full tank
btw, just wondering actually which brand of fuel is better?
i choose V power coz i get the receipt from coles .. :P
everyone has their own preferences
shop around with different fuels
see which one ur car likes best
ie. runs smoother/cleaner
Im getting around the same and my car is auto as well. I've only done under 3,000kms. I do alot of stop and go driving, all under 10kms at a time so that explains it.
I've tried E10 a few tanks before and have notice Im getting less kms per litre with the above same condition so by the time you work it out Im only saving around $3 bucks every tank so I've decided to stick to premium fuel from now.
Well i havent tried it since i got at my car but iam going to try it next tankQuote:

That is going from full to fuel light.
I get around 450km on 91RON before the light comes on, so 380 on E10 sounds okay. I don't drive aggressively.Quote:

Generally speaking, driving with aircon during the summer period usually takes around 20% of the fuel in your tank. So it would have some affect.

Someone smack me in the back of the head if I've got this wrong, but E10 fuel has less energy density than your 91 RON, so you have to chug more fuel to get the same power output.
They don't market E10 for being fuel efficient, they market it for being environmentally friendlier as, on a per-litre basis, you're using less fossil fuels. A pity that you have to chug more litres to go at the same pace provided by normal fuels.
