E10 Ethanol, bad for your engine & economy? [MERGED]

[oilex]

try nyo din e10 G5 ng seaoil meron sa buendia, 95+ octane cheaper than petron..

[C#@RD]

how much yung seaoil E10 G5?

[MadoX]

Cheapest e10 I saw was at Shell N. Domingo, San Juan 35.07 as of today. Another Shell station in J. Ruiz sells e10 at 39.48.

Shocking difference in price indeed. Saves me 200 php every time I get the tank filled in our Innova.

[RC-V]

with the prices really gone down balik unleaded gasoline ako. para sakin mas ok hatak ng unleaded gas kaysa unleaded e10. pag naging 50+/li babalik ulit ako sa e10.

My nephew works with Chevron. I was informed that by year 2011, all gasoline that will be sold in the market, whether it be Shell,Caltex,Petron etc, would be unleaded with e10. This is to lower down the cost of gasoline among consumers. I just dont know the effect on our engines in the long run. I also got some info that all models 2004 and up are compliant to these alternative. From my understanding, nakakasira daw ng mga rubber parts or gaskets ang e10. Correct me if im wrong.

ok dyan sir,dyan din ako nagpapakarga ng e10,its either seoil na b4 magshell or sa shell mismo,khit ung super unleaded nila mababa ang price nila around 30 ata cla ngyn.compare nmn sa ibang gas station ng shell or petron sa cubao ang tataas ng bgay nila.

[coiter]

has anyone heard something like this? sa may amin kasi, may 2 Shell stations na nagsabi na di na daw sila magbebenta ng plain unleaded (greenheights-marikina and san mateo-ampid). lahat daw papalitan na ng E10 unleaded. i'm trying to see if may announcement ba na ganito or government mandate. mahirap to kasi may carb-fed car pa kami na alam kong di pwede sa E10.

[_Qwerty_]

by 2010 lang yata.. kailangan lahat nang Gas stations may E10 na.. hindi naman sinabing i phased out na ang unleaded.

[Altis6453]

Well, if the oil companies do phase them out in favor of E10, it won't be because government mandated it.

There's nothing in the Oil Deregulation Law or the Clean Air Act which says they should.

[1D4LV]

they cannot do this, imho. may mga oto na hindi compatible sa E10. tama yung sabi ni Qwerty. baka ang mandated is lahat ng stations eh dapat may E10 na, which i am seeing right now. Caltex introduced one. Total introduced one too.

agree pero baka yung mga GAS station na nabanggitni TS eh kulang lang sa pump so thats way i phase nila yung unleaded to giveway para maging pump ng e10.

e patay tayo dyan...

[kenzie]

ano ba kaibahan ng E10 sa unleaded lang? pasensya na naitanong lang

[_Qwerty_]

10% Ethanol

[1D4LV]

ano ba kaibahan ng E10 sa unleaded lang? pasensya na naitanong lang

e10, as the name implies, is a mixture of 10% ethanol alcohol and gasoline.
the ordinary unleaded is 100% gasoline.

pag e20, 20% na yung mixture ng ethanol. in other countries like brazil, they are using e80, which is a mixture of 80% alcohol and 20% gasoline.

as i've stated earlier, the use of e10 is not recommended for all cars.

ah okie got it yun pala yun thanks.... malabo nga ma phase out un unleaded di pala recommended for all cars yung may Ethanol ...

[coiter]

thanks sa replies!

yung mga gas stations na nabanggit ko dati pang may pumps na dedicated na for E10. so hindi naman siguro making way lang. anyway, it may be rin na nawalan lang sila ng stock ng unleaded at those times and we just misinterpreted them. although these are 2 different Shell branches with different owners saying the same thing. wierd.

pero mahirap nga to kung totoo kasi andami pang non-E10 compliant as some mentioned. not even E5. kahit brand new pa. we'll check the other shell stations within the area na rin. sayang pa naman yung rebate sa credit card ng wife ko kung sakaling mapipilitan syang lumipat ng ibang station. hehe

[ghosthunter]

A more wider implementation of ethanol for fuel like E20 or even E80/E100 can lead to increase in food prices as well as destruction of forests and another natural habitats for cultivation of ethanol crops.

This can even lead to a net increase of overall CO2 and other pollutants because of the increased requirement for fuel crop cultivation.

*TS, baka sa area niyo lang walang unleaded
