Terrible Fuel Consumption - 5VZ-FE!

Where possible I have used United 95ron with 10% ethanol in the 90 series for about 8 years and in the 120 since I bought it nearly 2 years ago. Never had issues and get better mileage than with 91 ron unleaded. Usually about 4c/lt cheaper as well.

Nice. I'll give it a trial run at the very least when I refill on Tuesday. I've kept results for fuel consumption in the past just going to and from work so I'll do the same again after a couple of re-fills with the 95 Ron E10. It's only been 2 cents a litre cheaper out my way for the last couple of years. I do remember when it was 4c cheaper though. No doubt we'll all be forced to use it one day soon when the government phases out regular unleaded.

Brett, when I check on the E10 OK website once I confirm V6 engine it advises E10 is OK.

I might try a couple of tanks to see how it goes with the blown engine as opposed to running 98 octane

3rd day after filling both tanks from very near empty with E10 94 octane from Freedom Fuels and definitely noticed the slight power increase & improved throttle response over standard unleaded. There is a long straight street with a slight incline that I drive along every afternoon during the working week and my car never ever holds its speed in 4th at 60km/h without losing a little bit of speed & kicking up a gear, but with the E10 94 is stays at 60km/h in 4th. Better performance than I expected that's for sure. I may be a convert yet. After two more re-fuels I'll be measuring fuel consumption for 60L worth during my to & from work travels to compare it against my regular unleaded litre per hundred records.
