i put $30 of mobil's E10 fuel in today.. i think it'll be the last time!! i swear ive lost at least 20% torque..

Rednut,

I am not aware of any E10. What is it? I presume it contains 10 % Ethanol?

What were you using before?

I presume you are in NSW?

As far as I am aware Mobil only sells:

Synergy 2000, 6000 and 8000 petrol.

Ethanol has a higher octane rating, but a lower calorific value than petrol. So the fuel produces less power than 98.

Do the Mobil Service Stations in NSW have Ethanol blended petrol?

It is not on their Website.

Don't think so.

Not really interested anyway. Not good for old cars. (Very corrosive)

Not recommended for alloy engines. i've tried it a few times, noticable power increase when using bp 100, but engine runs hotter and uses more fuel.

not worth it IMHO.

my bad.. ampol is the servo not mobil (they have a similar logo)

Volkswagen All Volkswagen vehicles will operate satisfactorily on E10, but Volkswagen does not recommend it. <-- heh. last time! from what i can find on it.. its just temporarily cheaper alternative.. but in the not so distant future, you'll need to purchase a newer car as the fuel will have killed it!

on the topic.. when the fuel price gonna drop.. $1.20+ is well shiz!

fuel price drop??? why would you think that will ever happen? get used to it mate, the only way is up from here.

you dudes think i drive a diesel because im a tight arse? no way. its because petrol (and pump diesel) is going to get expensive and you cant run your petrol car on a cheap renewable fuel - you can run a diesel on one though.

I run my VW Caddy on 100% Biodiesel and it is ticking over like a Rolex watch.
