tweety bird Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 given that most people run them on premium to make up for the octane loss compared to the super leaded they were designed for, i don't think it's that much of an issue. but yeah, i've been running e10 for years on multiple cars without issue. the only thing i do is change the fuel filter when i first get the car just in case it is full of crap that will break down a bit. it's not the best to use in cars that are rarely driven though. it is more prone to absorbing water. the biggest issue though is for people with boats. most boats are designed to be run on regular unleaded and not on premium or e10. they will run ok, but it's not ideal. my boat won't run on it and i don't think my peugeot will run on it either. so i'm very worried, my car restoration hobby might be over.

Write a letter to your member of parliment, that's what I'm doing. Poor bastard won't know what hit him.

tweety bird Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 the peugeot run good on super, but it didn't like unleaded. it has mechanical petrol injection so i just can't retune it either.

bozodos Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love how even the inkling of something happening and the price of oil jumps. Also the IMMEDIATE flow on effect to pump prices, worse than the bloody share market Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/386762-iran-strait-of-hormuz-blockade/page/2/#findComment-6176356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad082 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 price of fuel here hasn't moved in about 3 weeks. price of fuel in noosa only jumped over the weekends at the coles and woolies based servos.
