Can I use E5 or E10 petrol in my Ford Focus?

I have a 2020 Ford Focus Active X 1.0 EcoBoost 125. Can you advise on the best petrol to use in this car, please - E5 or E10?

Answered by Lawrence Allan
Your 2020 Ford Focus will be perfectly fine using either E5 or E10 petrol - it has been designed to cope with the increased ethanol content of E10. The occasional tank of E5 may benefit performance and economy slightly, plus help reduce carbon build up inside the fuel system.

Lovely smooth ride. Capacious boot in the estate version. User-friendly technology. Great to drive, despite extra ride height.
