Have I understood that right Cyker, that the Esso one has no ethanol at all in it ?

As I did fill up with the Esso E5 at Tesco's the other week as I couldn't be bothered driving to the other end of town for my usual shell v power, I was wondering if it was my imagination, but it seemed to run better with slightly more power.

Mind you, they are a bit of a rough crowd filling up at the Tesco's, some of them had jogging bottoms on and face tattoos, and didn't use the plastic gloves.

That's what they say, for the slightly excessively named Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 E5, at any rate!

From the horse's mouth:

(Search "How much ethanol is in Esso's E5 fuel?")

Apparently it does depend on where you are tho', Scotland and 'The North' as well as Cornwall for some reason are still ethanol'd
