Gr8 does that mean I don’t need to change to Tesla motors and Duracell’s

Thanks, still think I will fill it with Super Unleaded before winter SORN but regular will be fine otherwise.

Our XC60 will be on unleaded E5 or E10 whatever is the cheapest petrol, but the TR6, QPV and XM will all be on VMax

Ironically Tesco Momento is E5

I believe all the forecourt premium or super unleaded petrols will be E5 still, it's just the 95ron that's changing.

I'll continue using Tesco momentum on all our cars, like I have since the day it was introduced.
Always performed very well on all my standard and highly modified cars with zero issues, and seems to return better mpg even in the wife's normal cars.

Also a bonus is that the club card points earned from the petrol each year, pays for the full bifter annual RAC cover.

It’ll almost certainly catch fire.

There's always hope! lol

I don't get why anyone is using E10 in anything , Tesco momentum 99 was 7p a litre dearer than 95 E10 yesterday , it's a fiver a tank in most cars

What does EU5 Homologation mean? Sorry if this is a daft question.

It is the emissions standard to which the cars are homologated to by the factory. What they are saying is that they are all EU5 and so ok.

Does e10 help with clutch operation? Just checking......

Yes. You have to really thrash the car to get the lost performance, so the gear changes are quicker, so the clutch lasts longer. Apparently.

E10 didn’t exist when I had mine - it still threw a paddy and wet itself!
