My sister has been asking me, under the misguided assumption that I know everything about cars, about the implications of putting E10, instead of E5, in her 18 year old Yaris.
She's a nurse and has a 30 mile daily round trip to work, and is finding that it's costing her a lot more for fuel. E5 seems to be abiut 20p a litre more than E10 in our area.

I have researched across a few sites but can't find anything more than bland statements about 'damage' being caused to older engines if they are fuelled with E10.

Grateful for any informed views?

Cheers
Doug
