Is the United 100RON more expensive than 98RON at other stations?
If so has anyone tested 100RON with 10% Ethanol for fuel efficiency?

The previous Fuel Efficiency tests I've seen with same model cars, and cruise control showed that E10 95RON and 98RON in that order were the best value for money

A few people on this forum have used United petrol & desiel only to have a fault light come on - fuel filter had to be cleaned

At the MRT Track day they recommended Caltex 98 followed by Shell 98

Ethanol has less energy than petrol, you have to burn more of it to achieve the same outcome, this needs to be factored into the price/economy equation - if the price differential is wide enough E10 can be the cheapest to run, but not by much

(If you have a turbo VAG car then 95 and 98 fuels would be the go)

It's often quoted in motoring articles, e.g:
E10 fuel a false economy

Okay, I wouldn't exactly call that an authoritative source.

Lol, it looks as if he just put in that last line for fun.
