Angry motorists have slammed the 'inferior' E10 petrol and called for a return to the previous standard. Some have even gone as far as saying the fuel type has had an impact on their performance of their car.
E10 is widely used across the globe, including throughout Europe, the US and Australia, with Northern Ireland introducing it to forecourts earlier this month. It is also the reference fuel against which new cars are tested for emission and performance, something introduced in 2016, reports The Express.
However, some drivers report seeing issues with their fuel economy since the switch. One said: “E10 is an inferior fuel as the additional ethanol content gives it three percent less energy so will not deliver the same mpg.”
