The Shell Super Unleaded E10 gasoline is a special mix of unleaded gasoline and ethanol. The blend contains ten percent ethanol which according to the company, would run on most of the newer gasoline engine vehicles, although cannot assure it to run on all gasoline engines.

High concentration of ethanol may damage parts in some engines; cars could not run purely on it so it must be blended with gasoline. Shell's E10 gasoline makes sure that the blended fuel is not only good for the environment but also good for a car's engine. The alcohol component lessens the oxygen requirement of an engine to completely burn the fuel, thus making it much more efficient. And with the lesser amount of harmful chemicals like benzene and sulfur in the mix, it helps reduce harmful air contaminants.

Motorists who load up on the ethanol-blended gasoline could be proud of themselves by helping reduce the harmful pollutants released by vehicles. Although Shell advises that before loading up, customers must check their car manuals to see if what fuels could be used. A constantly updated list of cars that are compatible with the fuel is available at their website (www.shell.com.ph).

The Super Unleaded E10 gasoline is available at key locations along Edsa. As of the moment there are four stations that offer the special fuel. The stations are at Edsa-Quezon city, Edsa-Buendia, Pasong Tamo, and Pandacan.

walang exact figure dun sa shell site but here's a quote from another site..

E-10 Unleaded is a blend of 90% ordinary unleaded gasoline with 10% ethanol—a high-octane, clean-burning fuel made from corn and other grains. Every major car maker in the world approves the use of 10% ethanol blends (E-10 Unleaded) in their engines.

The ethanol in E-10 Unleaded adds two to three points of octane to gasoline—helping improve engine performance while keeping engine parts cleaner. E-10 Unleaded also helps reduce toxic exhaust emissions.
