and biofuels cause 4 times more carbon emissions than petrol or diesel so even if you believe the climate change bollox it still doesn't make sense.

If you follow the link at the bottom of the pistonheads page to their list is states the following or Subaru;
Subaru:
E10 petrol is cleared for use in all models with petrol engines manufactured from 1st January 1991 with
the exception of the following models:
All Vivio models.
Justy manufactured before April 1994.
Hopefully by the time it comes out there will be some sort of official statement from Subaru or something

In reference to the OP's post the PH article about Bio Fuel compatibility is resourced from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the European Automobile Manufacturer's Association, and maybe the most significant - the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.
The article from Flexfuel appears to have been written back in 2008 by the Australian equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson, and the information is drawn from the Australian Consumer's Association. I don't know Ballinger's work and stand to be corrected if this innaccurate.
Whilst I think Clarkson et al do fine job of entertaining us, I would hope that the major associations backing the PH article have more up to date factual research to call on.
Or we're all in the ****

It is often claimed to have 105 octane but this is a miscalculation. E85 has an octane rating of 94-96 so i dunno what E10 would actually be.
I also read somewhere it seperates when left in a fuel tank for a long time and will eat through the tank.

I have no probs with getting a remap for it (at the point when V-Power starts to disappear over time). But will be mighty pissed if the calorific content means a significant drop in power and torque!

What i can make out any wrx sti made before 1999 or after 2005 is all ok what about uk2000 cars and wrx of all ages?
Also due to the new fuels being made available at the pumps some of the car will need a remap but by the new mot standards a remapped car will be a failure or am i getting a bit misled on this 1/

that MOT law is completely misunderstood. Remapping a car is not a failure.
