E10 Anyone using it yet?

[The Witzl]

Filled my last tank with non-ethanol 95ron ULP.
Still going with 440kms on the clock, and just under 1/5 tank to go. I estimate 550kms from this tank.

If i were running E10 (91ron), i would have run out of petrol by now.


This is a BOG STANDARD AE102 corolla, with a 7AFE engine. Nothing flash.
Pretty conclusive evidence really.

the octane number can vary greatly from station to station with E10. it depends on the base fuel used and any additives etc. Most E10 in sydney is now shitty low octane petrol + ethanol to give a final RON of 91

Not here (in Adelaide) if they advertise it as 94 octane then that is the absolute lowest that it can be sold.
Each batch can vary but not go under what they are selling it as (eg technically they are allowed to sell 95, 96 etc octane as 94)

Is it not the same over there or is it a case of they don't have to display (or tell you) the octane of the fuel?

Re-read what I said. The final octane number IS 91, it's just made of inferior fuel plus ethanol to boost the value up to that number. Nothing illegal about that, it's pretty gay though.

Yeah that sucks, low octane and extra fuel usage
