Anybody noticed a bigger drop in fuel consumption than the 1 or 2% that has been mentioned? I've just used my second tank and have averaged 3.6% less mpg than my previous. Same routine journeys as before.

I think you're right. I think my tank is going down quicker after switching to E10. Maybe its just me though. I used to get roughly 90 miles from full, as in squeezing in as much fuel as possible without it spilling out the tank before a bar would go down. Now I think I'm only getting 75-80 miles before going down a bar.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

Looking like another tax increase dressed up as as saving the planet.

The answer to all of this is less cars being built, and less cars on the road. You do that by investing heavily in public transport so it’s clean, efficient, regular, reliable and cheap.
We all want to see the climate catastrophe reversed but scrapping a whole load of cars and replacing them with more isn’t the answer at all.

If you want to dramatically cut carbon quickly the answer is to get as many cars off the road as possible. Politically it would be hugely unpopular so we end up with completely half baked measures.

Public transport is a major issue and you are right it needs addressed but alongside a serious option for those that can't or won't give up their car. I couldn't give up mine but I'd absolutely be willing to change it it was affordable.
Manchester for example has a superb tram network but it stops around midnight and even the weekend is only slightly later. That's no good for people who work shifts. The train network for people that commute into the city from Cheshire or Merseyside etc is awful and pre covid was plagued with issues.
All of that needs sorted cos it's only one city and its all over the UK

Reading reports of up to 7% less MPG. I think that qualifies as definitely noticeable.

I’m still trying to work out if it’s affecting my cars mpg, it’s usuallly pretty poor so sometimes hard to tell.

It will affect MPG, I sometimes use E60 in my car coupled with a specific map for that fuel. It gives noticeably more power but the MPG dramatically drops even with normal driving. I'm not sure how much going from E5 to E10 will affect MPG but it will drop it.

I barely do 20mpg around town so will be marginal. On a Highlands run in a few weeks so will get a better idea but even then 35 is good.

Just got through a tank of E5 super unleaded, got 10% better fuel consumption than E10 for 5% more money and no spluttering engine.

My car is definitely getting less mpg. Usually average the low 30’s mpg now it’s around the high 20’s.
Colder weather is going to make it worse as well.

I know this is about E10 but.....****ing E5 is now superfuel and is £1:50 a litre. It wasn't super 3 months ago and why the **** is it £1:50??? Over 20 quid to fill up my bike as it doesn't like E10. Just a disgrace
