How much does your fuel weigh :confused:

Don’t want to hijack an interesting thread, but topping up my 1959 Matchless G80 yesterday at my local Esso station I noticed the pumps had been re badged, normal Esso 95 ron. now contains 10% ethanol, Esso supreme, 5%....I honestly didnt perceive any difference in performance....although with an old British thumper it’s difficult to use the word “performance “ in any meaningful discussion.

Has anyone enquired whether it actually contains 10% ethanol, or less than 10%?

I thought e10 was being rolled out in September, so they may be getting the pumps ready for it.

It could be as low as 5.5%.

I've posted a reply to this in http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...d.php?p=588637

to keep all the ethanol stuff in one place.

I noticed the same warning on fuel pumps in Bridgewater yesterday. It is effective form Aug 1 and don't forget it's up to 10% so it could be anything.

Strangely, I refuelled at Tesco/Esso at Dumfries yesterday,it’s a very busy outlet ,their 95 ron Esso was showing 5% ....but the roll-out is underway.....
