Etanol fuel

[tron07]

Anyone use Etanol E10 fuel for the Euro?? Cheap cheap cheap fuel

With E10 you use about 3% more fuel and you lose a similar amount of power. Here in canberra it is about 2% cheaper for E10 so in fact it DEARER to use E10 AND you get less power. Nuff said.

So if E10 was say 10% cheaper I "might" use it but probably not.

Ethanol is a scam imo, you pay big dollars for 100octane, but its cheaper to manufacturer than 98RON.

Even if the fuel companies adjusted the pricing, I still wouldnt use it. The Euro's performance orientated engine likes decent fuel.

the way i look at it , you have a newish car (assume paid / paying big money for it) -

why scamp on its fuel ?

i have a 13 yr old civic but i use nothing but 98 octane So treat it well

I used to use it in my 01 lancer and it was ok but got heaps worse milage in the Euro.

Most people have said they lose mileage with ethanol fuel to the point of diminishing return.

What everyone above me has posted pretty well sums it up,E10

[Peekay34]

I found no issues with running the fuel..... Same mileage....

You've used 95RON E10 in your Euro?!

[BiLL|z0r]

There's also 98RON E10 at some servo's. That was what I used if I did use E10

I have nothing against E10 but at 3c/ltr.cheaper and getting approx.3% less distance/ltrs/100kms.i figure whats the point!

When I was having my EJ1, I notice that the engine likes 95 RON better.... you might want to test that out.

With the Euro, I try to use Caltex 98 or VPower 98... sometimes no choice have to use those 95 RON.

I think some old engines perform better with leaded petrol too....
