where can i find reliable info about ethanol content in Premium unleaded?
15 mins on google hasn't led to an easy answer!
95 RON seems easy (?): 5% to be expected and 10% is clearly indicated as E10
For 98RON i'd like to avoid more than 5%, just to be on the safe side, my choice.
Shell i believe is pure petrol.
Tesco Momentum is referred to as both E10 and E5 in different places
i couldn't find an answer for Esso
Ethanol easily enables higher RON and suppliers don't seem keen to display it's percentage.
Maybe that's why Shell is a few more pennies....

I think the current V-Power is 5% ethanol?

Unless I've misinterpreted the information here, Tesco Momementum is 5% ethanol:
