lowslowbenz,thanks for sharing this, do i take it that E10 is not bad for us as long as the RON is 95? i heard from my mechanic that E10 may hurt the membrane in our fuel distributors? what do you think?

Mixed reactions really ... I have a friend whose FD failure was attributed to E-10, while others would say their cars experienced bad engine performance, hesitation, "palya", increased fuel consumption.. Still others would say that E-10 on their cars were "okay" .... But then again we cannot discount the long term effects can we? Re: long term = 3-4 years down the road..

My personal pitch ... stay away from it as much as possible ... which is becoming quite a problem for me as well as I have 2 cars in the province that are'nt E-10 compatible... HAY!
