    I filled up elsewhere.
    It might be an old thread, but United's stance only came to my notice when I filled up with their 95 (as per the fuel nozzle) only to check later as to why it was so amazingly cheap.......the docket simply stated E10 !....not sure if that's a deceptive practice.
    It ran fine (PSA 1.6 THP engine and I'm not into performance) and if they are phasing out 95 for effectively 94, my major concern relates to direct injection suitability.

    Well after a few emails with VW customer care, they are stating that MON is not a value used in Australia and only RON applies. So E10 95RON is acceptable to use. I even mentioned the EN228 specification for PULP as MON85 & RON95 and they reiterated that up to E10 as long as it is RON95 or above is suitable. So i guess you should be covered under warranty if you use E10 95RON fuel....

    I even got a reply from United Petroleum regarding the MON of their E10 95RON fuel, they stated typically around 82.9-84.2.
    Good link here explaining RON & MON Octane Number (RON, MON) | Glossary | Marquard & Bahls

    BTW, i only use 98RON in my Golf as i get Costco Fuel which is the same price as 91RON elsewhere.

    I’ve been using E10 for many tens of thousands of kms, and getting great economy also, in our C4 Picasso (1.6 turbo) and it says the average has been 5.3/100 , which is down to gently country cruising. The ethanol is a cleaning component also.

    Well if you go to the FCAI E10 listing you will find almost every vehicle in the last 20 years is approved.
    It’s more to do with our automotive version of ‘project fear’.

    Having just dealt with an 'older' (2001) Audi, I can say that, if you plan on letting the car sit for more than a fortnight, DON'T leave E10 in it...
    Run it down, and fill it back up with regular fuel.

    The rubber seals in the tank turned to goo, and seized the fuel pump.
    Not to mention, it smelt really bad in that tank.


    That said, we ran our V5 Bora on E10 for years, and whilst you would get more km's per tank with PULP, it would still be cheaper per KM with E10. The wife also uses it in the Focus with no issues so far.
