Anything wrong with using the standard unleaded, now E10?

They 'may' have been ethanol free earlier this year, but I understand they now have to contain at least 5% ethanol.

I'm using super unleaded for the foreseeable future, until everyone else has tested E10.

Same here. And for my low mileage, I'll probably carry on using super unleaded.

E5 is UP TO 5%, E10 is UP TO 10% - there are no minimums.

E10 petrol is well tested having been used in mainland Europe for years.

Since 2009 I think.

It may be early days, but when I needed fuel yesterday (nearly showing empty) I visited one of my regular stops with about a dozen pumps. Five of them showed the new E10, which I didn't want to put into my 1994 car. The one pump showing E5 was 'out of use' - when I enquired I was told that they 'weren't sent any'. So it seems a little bit like hoping to charge your EV - you may not be able to.

On the filler flap of the Fiesta it says minimum 95 RON and E10 is OK - don't worry about it.
