only just heard, a new petrol with more ethanol will be on sale at the pumps later this year, I think it replaces any 95 octane (fuel save) and the 97's (Vpower) will still be available. From what I have read we already have 5% ethanol in and it will rise to 10%.
All on gov uk with a car checked, we all should be fine.

or just lower the speed limits on DC and motorways...........

Heard about this, didn't know there was a place to check but was pretty confident it would be fine, but good to know. I don't opt for the lower octane stuff though so might not even be an issue.

mine running well at momement with it's two new 02 sensors, i normally put 95 in as it was mapped to that and VPower doesn't make any difference if anything seems better on fuelsave, I'll try when it comes out, funny how oil companies come up with new ideas when their soon to be faced with huge global losses in 2030.

Yep, I always use Tesco momentum, dont know why but the engine doesn't like the cheaper stuff with the map I've got.
