They’ve covered their asses in that drop down menu basically saying it’s still up to you to decide if E10 is suitable for your vehicle no matter what they say.

I’d be more concerned about the extra ethanol possibly causing issues with the fuel system on some cars. Something I doubt the government has paid any consideration to when making up their rules.

I've heard it can play havoc with older fuel lines.

Erm, this is actually great news for us performance car owners!

ethanol is “the ****” when it comes to making power in turbo charged applications. With a remap, we should see about 10% more power and torque.
