There are also other brands of super unleaded such as Tesco Momentum & Shell V-power :wink:


But Esso is the only one that I have seen stating no ethenol.

I wouldn't even run my lawnmower on E10 petrol, never mind any of my Lotus cars. It's yet another con/brainwashing ploy by the UK Govt. :?

It's the only choice we have in the US lately....I use 91 octane, not sure what the equivalent is in the ROW

I use 99 RON (E5) whenever I can for my Lotus babies. And 97 RON (E5) is the absolute minimum.

Other daily hacks run on a mixture of 95/97 RON E10/E5

The UK and Scottish governments are trying to go down the E10 (max 10% EtOH) route and its an absolute environmental con
