That's actually all E10 fuel sold in the EU these days :thumleft:

And it's bioethanol that causes the issue. I heard there's a serious problem with it for MK1 MX5 owners, but that's just grapevine stories as far as I know.

for the turbo i use V Power all the time, its more of a peace of mind thing i suppose, heard bad things about BP ultimate though, (engines detonating on it etc)
just for info, my daily is a prius (dont laugh it helps fund the 2) and i get around 5mpg better using shell standard fuel than any other supermarket blend. so there must be something in it. the filling station i use price matches asda as well so alls good
