Bio Fuel now being used in France
The premium-95-E10, which is a new fuel containing up to 10% by volume of ethanol will be gradually distributed to service stations from 1 April 2009.
Why this new fuel?
* The marketing of this premium-95-E10 will help achieve the objectives of integration provided by the French biofuel plan, particularly the target of 7% in energy in 2010.
What vehicles are compatible?
* It is compatible with 60% of petrol vehicles currently in circulation e.g. post 2000, and with the vast majority of new vehicles.
* The fuel therefore will eventually be fully compatible with all new cars.
* For other vehicles, it is advisable to continue to use premium grade 95 or 98, whose distribution will be maintained.
What are the characteristics of SP95-E10?
* Its main features, apart from its content of ethanol or equivalent, are identical to those of premium-grade MS 95.
* The SP95-E10 is also consistent with specifications set by the European directive on fuel quality, the latest amendment was enacted under the energy-climate package.
In conclusion
We recommend that classic cars do not use the new bio fuel 95 - E10 instead continue to use premium grade 95, which is still widely available.
Drivers of performance vehicules should also avoid the bio fuel and use the premium grade 95 or 98.
If you are at all worried please contact your local dealer and ask them, they should have notifications about EU directive changes.
