In the Netherlands petrol costs =E2=82=AC1,90 for 95 E10 or about $6,95/US =
Gallon and rising; 98 E5 (mostly no ethanol yet but up to 5% allowed) is ab=
out $9,35/US gallon and rising.
Never had any problems with 95 E5 or 95 E10 though (ethanol supposedly agei=
ng and affecting seals, gaskets, fuel lines or metals or because of vapour =
lock). I have been using 95 E5 when this was introduced in Europe in the la=
te 1990's (I even regularly used the cheapest 95 E15 which became available=
in around 2005) in my Jensen-Healey (standard SU-fuel pump AUF301/AZX1308)=
, Stromberg CD175 carbs, similar to SU, initially but now on 45mm DellOrto'=
s) and Land Rover SIII, although this ran mainly on LPG but used petrol whe=
n I ran out of LPG, or any other car I had, carburetted or EFI.
In 2018 E10 was introduced widely and this also did not cause any problems,=
even after leaving the car untouched for a year with E10 in the tank. E15 =
has now been suspended by most petrol stations.
Of course ambient temperatures are generally moderate but can occasionally =
run into 35-40C, 95-105F, most certainly when holidaying in Italy, Spain or=
France.
