https://www.independent.co.uk/environme ... 09856.htmlNormally, I’d put this in the News section, but it’s probably more prominent here as knowing about this could save you a lot of problems. There is a vehicle compatibility list here: https://www.acea.be/publications/articl ... ility-listNote that while my car is specifically NOT mentioned on the list, it might be OK as it seems the Mercedes equivalent is listed (for clarity: unless my car is specifically listed, I’m not going to risk E10).

We've had E10 for at least 9 years here. When it was first introduced, some manufacturers recommended that people don't use E10 with certain engines, but I assumed all modern cars should be compatible - I drive a diesel, so it isn't an issue.

I've always used superunleaded in my car. It's VW's FSI engine and meant it would run on standard or super unleaded. The latter produces more power in the car. I'd avoid E10 altogether if I can continue to use superunleaded.

I think you will find that there will be the equivalents to both standard and superunleaded. All you need to do is use the higher Octane rating one. After all that is what the "super" part of superunleaded actually means.

E10 is the same rating as normal unleaded. It only come in one mixture (91 RON).

I think Super is 95 RON and Super Plus is 98 RON, here in Germany (Unleaded and Super Unleaded in British terms).
