Now living in Australia I have acquired a second-hand six-year-old Honda Jazz at auction with 165,000 kilometres on the clock - only an average mileage out here. Australia has already gone down the bio-fuels route with E10 fuel, normal unleaded with 10% ethanol, being the cheapest. Will it do my Jazz or any other car any great harm? Is it safe to use on a regular basis?

We run our 123,000 km Vios on E95 Mon in Thailand and have done for about 3 years with no ill effects. It's 30 baht a litre (55p) v/s 40 baht (73p) for standard 95 Mon.
