Slight out of date but don’t use E10 PETROL, especially on newer cars

Good spot! 😲
And they were last active at the time of making their OP.

And don't expect the OP to be back anytime soon. It took them almost 17 years from registering to making their first post 

And this subject matter will be more than "slight out of date" for their next visit in 17 years.

Come on Sue- come back and give us some garage insights and tips. Seems such a strange first ever post then followed by silence.

To be fair, not replying within 9 hours of posting (at 10pm) isn't exactly being "silent".  

Maybe they'll be back in another 17 years to update us, could be- "don't use overnight electricity to charge your cars, it wont work during the day".

Yes, we'll all be talking about that smelly flammable liquid we used to have to pour into our cars to make them go. And reminisce that it used to be possible to exceed speed limits and even hit other cars if you closed your eyes whilst driving.

My Nissan Juke 1.6 - 2015 has no problem on motorways but around town/local mileage really does suffer compated to E5

Have you never wondered why they sell off the overnight electricity cheaper than the daytime stuff?

Is it because there is generally more wind overnight?

Base load generating stations (nuclear, coal-fired) can't just be switched on and off - once they're going you need to keep them going for best efficiency. As demand is much lower overnight then reduced pricing is offered to try and increase that demand to avoid having to reduce the base load generating capacity, which would cost the generating companies more in lost efficiency than the reduced sell price per unit costs them.

Kia Picanto, 2012, no trouble with E10, fuel consumption is about the same as E5. Wifes 2002, 206cc  also has no problems., running or consumption. We regularly see the express and DM pushing this when there's nothing much to report.

I guess Op is hoping that they can boost their profits before they have to pack in as they can no longer ( insert own phrase) customers when we are all running EV's 🤣
