Ethanol free fuel
I found it.. I found the holy grail of fuel...
Esso premium unleaded contains no ethanol unless you're in Devon, Cornwall, Scotland or Newcastle. BP ultimate contains no ethanol PERIOD according to head office. Shell, texaco contain less than 5% according to head office Total and Mobil 1 filling stations contain 0% in premium fuel according to head office. Hope it helps. |

Interesting.
I knew about Esso Super but not Total and Mobil, thanks for that. However, I recently had an email from BP in which they said the position was constantly evolving and therefore they could not confirm if ethanol was present or not in their Super. (I think eeveryone's Regular has up to 5% Ethanol). Luckily there's plenty of Esso around here. |

the reply 'maggsy' got from BP in the recent thread says ultimate will never have more than 5% ethanol until jan 2017 which of course isn't far away !! which to me sounds as if it does have ethanol in already.there is information on the net but a lot seems to be out of date & it would be nice to have a definitive answer to this ethanol question ..but it does seem safer to stick to the premium grades .

At least the implementation is looking to protect the continued use of cheaper non E10 tolerant vehicles.

from my experience in Thailand with E10 fuel all carb bikes will suffer lots of problems even with VITON rubber parts ,,with 10% ethanol it will be a nightmare ,, EFI bikes will cope but performance and fuel economy will suffer .
