CL9 Fuel: Premium or normal unleaded?

Yeah I'm highly suspect of that channel 7 fuel economy report the other night. The 95 RON car ran out way too early, and the E10 car went further than I expected (Shouldn't ethanol blended fules like E10 have a lower energy density than regular petrol?).

Question: Is E10 blended with 91RON unleaded with 10% ethanol, which would boost the octane a bit? Or is it 91RON after the E10 is blended?

98 is the way to go.

I agree. Its a better fuel, burns better, higher octane and one you use it for a tank or so you should see better economy. I have always run this in all cars and including a jetski.

Look at the cars they test and how they test before you draw conclusions...

The i30? I think I saw in one program completely different to cars you and I drive =|

It's just a load of crap ;)

Yeah seemed like a load of crap to me - The way you drive makes a huge difference, so even having a different person driving the cars is a variable.
