The car

[Pete Grey]

And now E10 petrol has arrived, ‘The Car’ is twenty years old (2001), the manufacturer say all of their vehicles made since 2000 are E10 compatible but is it worth the risk ?.

There is twenty years age/wear to all seals, rubber fuel lines, petrol pump etc, so do I risk having an expensive fuel system replacement, which would probably cost more than the value of the car.

We have been using E5 since it’s introduction without any problem and we know it will be around for years to come for classical vehicles.

So we will move up to super unleaded E5, with it’s higher RON rating it’s proven to give more power and acceleration, burns smoother and gives a little better mpg.

Our normal mileage is low, so the extra cost for the lack of any problem is a reasonable expense.
