After a happy time when us shandy-swilling southerners could feed our cars full-fat ethanol-free Esso Supreme+99, that too is getting watered down. Petrol with ethanol tops please. love.
Yeah, same in the Vantage. Shame.That’s a bu@@er, use Esso exclusively in the classic and when I can in the Strad.
I'm not seeing much difference with the "new" VPower. I think I'm using in enough of it to have a decent sample size as wellye I noticed Shell V power has been terrible lately…..that’s prob the reason, all getting watered down
People who hope/expect their partner to do it next time they are in it! Actually I don't mind as at least I know it is getting filled with the good stuff but it is a bit of a standing joke in our house.Saw a woman with a blinged up white cayenne at Morrisons , £20 of E10 in it , looked great but who puts £20 in a V8
dont see a viable alternative response other than above, "control what you can control and accept what you cannot control........."I've stopped worrying, put what's in at the pump and will deal with the consequences, if any down the line. Heard it all when lead was phased out, this isn't much different in that it will/may have a detrimental effect. I shall see.
Precisely what I thought, hopefully the ethanol and petrol is still inside.Surely ethanol, if going to harm it, would do it internally. That looks more like heat damage.
We've come across a fair amount too - a couple of petril stations we pulled in today in Switzerland didn't mention anything about E5/E10Seems over here in the Countryside there's still plenty of E5 95 petrol still about and to keep my old motors going.
