Lets see what happens in fact.

Bob
I've already seen E10 Super Unleaded on forecourts Bob. It seems they're not going to go down the E5 Super route already.

That sounds similar to something i read a few months back as well Bob, however i've actually seen the nozzles on the pumps reading "E10 Super Unleaded" or similar, depending on the brand.

Seems to me the oil companies are trying to present a fait accomplit so we don't get the choice.

Fortunately for most of us on here, it won't be a problem either way, as long as the oil comanies don't get the mix wrong and use 90% ethanol and 10 % petrol!

That would give Great-Auntie Maude a shock after filling her (normally) asthmatic Fiesta up and taking off at 140mph!
