Hi Guys,
Here in the UK we just moved from E5 grade petrol (gas) to E10. The UK govt advice is that cars 6 years old or less will be fine with E10 so I switched for my US 2015 Expedition.
But now I'm wondering .... does the drive feel different? Made me realise I have no clue what grade the US is using ref E5/E10. Can anyone enlighten me? Should I go back to the (now more expensive) E5 or stay on the new E10?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
(Both E5 and E10 are unleaded petrol but E10 contains a higher proportion of bio-ethanol - up to 10% compared with a maximum of 5% in E5. This higher bio-ethanol content - obtained from renewable sources - helps to reduce the CO2 emissions from vehicles but slightly reduces their fuel efficiency.)
