95RON/E10 fuel reduces fuel economy by ~20%, proven fact. Even on Volvos before E10, i've found 95RON reduces the economy on mine.
Timing figure for a 1987/8 B230E is 12degBTDC (10deg is for turbo models)
Running on 98RON will give you more mpg and the extra mpg outweighs the extra cost. Also saves the myth about double-gasketing for the boozer on a sunday afternoon!  |
I'm not convinced by E10 reducing fuel economy by 20% Dave - I think we as a nation would have noticed such a sharp rise since we swapped to E10. At a personal level I have not noticed any difference in consumption since the change - the motor car still does 25 MPG around town and 29 MPG on a run.
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2022.
