High percentages of ethanol in petrol is bad news for classic car drivers. We had a bit of a discussion about this a little while ago on the Healey forum. Apparently ethanol is bad for aluminium carburettors. I think this has more to do with the fine capillary tubes in them, but if it is a reaction...

Re: V-Power
I didn't mention V-Power - the question was about the 'e10' 95 octane available in France - which is crap! No doubt the use of ethanol will spread, as it is a cheap anti-knock additive, and the Green people love it. I have found that the use of V-Power in France results in a lot higher fuel consump...

Re: SP95 e10
The problem with ethanol-diluted petrol is that while the ethanol (ie vegetable alcohol) is a good anti-knock agent, it is a poor fuel, so you will use more of it. I would avoid like le plague! Most cars manufactured after 1997 can tolerate it, but earlier cars will need the replacement of all rubb...
