Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland). We would therefore advise anyone who has concerns about the presence of ethanol in petrol to use Synergy Supreme+ – providing they do not fill up in Devon or Cornwall, the Teesside area or Scotland.‘

I saw that too ,, but it seems that is no longer true ,, most Esso 97 pumps will soon have the white and black E5 logo stickers on,, i have asked my brother who is a motor industry emissions and fuels specialist and head of development at DELPHI to look into it as herhas contacts in all the major companies and Brussels and UK gov use him as a consultant boffin .
