Groupe PSA
Peugeot, Citroën and DS: All cars with petrol engines are E10 (EN228) compatible since 1st January 2000.
they have committed to continuing either E0 or E5 as ‘Super’ until 2025 I believe?
Thought BP Ultimate had none too?The only Ethanol free Petrol in the UK is Esso Super, but it doesn’t cover all of the UK.
V-power / Ultimate both contain Ethanol.

It’s the same unleaded petrol that you’re currently using. Petrol in the UK already contains up to 5% bioethanol and has done for more than 10 years. Both BP regular unleaded petrol and BP Ultimate unleaded petrol are now also labelled as E5.

Why do they insist on putting this rubbish in our fuel?
It plays havoc with garden machinery, you get less mpg, swathes of farmland are used to grow it, rainforests chopped down to produce extra farmland, it absorbs water so can’t be sorted for very long, takes copious amounts of energy and herbicides to grow, harvest, mill and transport it and increases food prices, just so the crap that comes out ours exhausts is slightly cleaner.
Bob can say his carbon footprints slightly smaller, while Mary's over the pond is choking on her's but swimming in money.
The Americas only encourage and promote it as it keeps its farmers rich.
Because EU. They keep doing this stuff but often the down sides are just as bad. Biofuel needs land which would be used for food and wildlife. It breaks machinery so more parts have to be manufactured. Its no better for the environment in the end, but it looks greener on paper.
Had someone on here arguing with me that this also made oil and gas renewable!I think your missing the point that biofuels are renewable. Crops can grow back every season (to a reasonable degree). Fossil fuels take millions of years to form.
Well...I mean...technically they are as long as you don't mind a little bit of lagHad someone on here arguing with me that this also made oil and gas renewable!

E10 has been here for a long time, really isn't an issue.
I've been running straight E85 for 6 months without any problems too, the additional timing it allows just means the car is now a beast!
Very much so. Smells nice too!Runs cooler too right? Wish we had it at the pumps here. Hassle of having to buy and store barrels of the stuff means it's awkward to use. It'd make the expense of upgrading fuel system and mapping to suit a bit more justifiable.

I'm lucky to get 200 miles from a tank though, luckily I have 2 E85 stations close by.
It is also less economical.
Another tick in the box though I quite like the smell of regular petrol too tbh...
Running cooler with more power is more important to me than economy but yes, I know you need to flow more to produce the same amount of power vs normal petrol (can't remember the exact science - less energy density?) so in that sense it's probably another reason to have it more readily available on pump...
