Now, having been using fuel in Germany, that is clearly marked 5% 90 OCT, (lowest grade you can buy) and filling up with E10 95 OCT, I have noticed a increase in my fuel usage by at least 50km on 50 liters of fuel.
I know you're not in the U.S. I was just inferring that we use fuel here with alcohol and it seems to work OK. Is it as good a 100% gas. Unequivocally no.
Anything the oil companies can do to lessen the quality of the fuel while charging more seems to be the order of the day.
