E10 Fuel Mileage

normal unleaded
mine close to 600km full tank, vti
i drove it untill the red light came on

I travel up and down the mid north coast regularly and as of late been experimenting with different types of fuel.

Here are the average results......this is from a F22B CD5.

E10 - 480 - 500km max to the tank
ULP - 550 -580km with no noticable difference in PULP

It is a very noticable difference and if I calculate the consumption vs cost, I'm better of filling with ULP.

But every car responds differently I suppose. Just have to try it yourself!

I know nothing about fuel lol but I use the coles voucher a lot so I get my fuel from there. I know the green unleaded is for older cars, I usually use the yellow colored 1 haha. I just got the car, I'm guessing I should start using that V Power petrol? thats the only 3 choices I got lol that I can see

v power wont change your car performance,
its only help keep your car injector clean

i just use unleaded anyway, who cares, if start clogging in couple years,, i just send the injector to the shop, reclean

What's green and what's yellow? Isn't green the 95 RON with ethanol? If it is, then that is for NEW cars (2004 onwards Hondas). Not for old cars.

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.

I wont smack you, because thats what I thought as well...

For cars that require 98 ron etc it'll maintain performance, depending on how you look at it.!

correct about the fuel density - takes more to make the same power as normal unleaded.

Opposite of say 98 RON which uses less fuel to make the same power
