E10 unleaded gas.
E10 gas has arrived in UK gas (petrol to us ) stations. Regular unleaded with 10% ethanol I am lead to believe.

Re: E10 unleaded gas.
Should be fine. 87 octane, car is new enough not to suffer from the degrading effects of ethanol on the old-style rubber between the tank and the combustion chamber. I run it in my 1998 Jeep V8 regularly.
