E10 Petrol from September 2021

Only found out about this today.  Went on the Govt car checker site and still not sure if it will impact on my OH's car.  This is what it says:

Mercedes-Benz

E10 petrol is cleared for use in the vast majority of all Mercedes Benz vehicles with petrol engines, except:

• First generation direct injection C200 CGI (W203), CLK 200 CGI series (C209) of the years 2002 – 2005;

He has a 2005 C180 Kompressor, which although I think is classed as a W203 model is not mentioned above.  

Just wondered if anyone knows.

It is cleared for use in the C180 according to the information you've posted, as it's not a C200.

This is a W203 C-class.


His is a C180K.
The C200CGI is the only one not E10-approved.
C180K and C200CGI use different engines.
His is fine.

Thank you so much for the reassurance, greatly appreciated.

As already mentioned above, it only affects the first generation of C200 CGI, yours is a Kompressor, different engines/configurations.

I got petrol from a morrisons yesterday ,wanted E5 for my lawnmower,  The cheapest unleaded was E10, the E5 was labeled super unleaded and priced a few pennies more per litre

I called at a Sainsbury's petrol Station and the pump said E10 - when I asked the question I was told that they were simply labelling all the pumps in advance of its introduction in ***September.*** I suspect that Morrison's are doing the same thing.

That begs the question what fuel did I purchase

Sainsbury’s this morning only have the one choice of unleaded ( at least at the pump I was at) E10

Petrol with 5% ethanol in is both E5 and E10, because 5% is both up to 5% and up to 10%. It's also E85 (up to 85%) and E100 (up to 100%).
