RE: EcoBoost fuel choice...

[ope126]

Hi All,

I have been using Shell V-Power (98ron) for a long time now on various petrol cars that I have owned, however the Mondeo is now the first that an option of E10 fuel is suitable.

I understand that the Mondeo is tuned for 95ron and can be safely run on 91ron with a slight loss of performance (as per the owners book).

As I have always been using 98ron, I thought it best to do a bit more research regarding the E10 fuels available.

I understand that many people are either for or against, but is anyone using E10 with good results?

I have found the following info (available on the manufacturers websites) that might be useful to others;

United Fuels: E10 (95ron)
Freedom Fuels: E10 (94ron)
Shell: E10 (94ron)
Caltex: E10 (91ron - possibly 93ron)
Liberty Fuels: E10 (?ron)
Puma Energy: E10 (91ron)
BP: E10 (91ron)

So based on ron alone, it appears that the United Fuels E10 meets the performance factor by at least maintaining the 95ron.
Understandably economy might suffer, but with a potential 40c/L saving it could be worth a try?

What are your thoughts...
