  I live in France and E10 fuel is now being sold everywhere at a cheaper price that normal 95 octane.  Is there a website which explains which cars are compatible as the only one I can find is an Australian version saying that you cannot use E10 in a Ford Ka or Focus.

• Driving gently to ameliorate high fuel prices 6 May 2009 (Forum)
  As I expected, the subject of recent high fuel price increases has been forgotten, just as it was every other time there were increases. If the subject didn't get regularly forgotten I'd still be driving gently to ameliorate the fact that petrol has gone up from being 5 shillings a gallon.

  We have had a disaster tonight in that the wrong fuel has been put into our ford galaxy 1.9 tdi. Does anyone know if this is a diy job to get it back to life or will I be at the mercy of a garage. Unfortunately, the car was driven 700 yards before it gave up completely.
• 'Kangaroo' diesel 12 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  My R-reg Mondeo has developed a missing or snatching in a low revs and no load situation. I have checked fuel solenoid on the fuel pump and there does not appear to be a leak on the primer pump. A friend of mine suggested a fuel additive as it might be a sticking injector. The additive has been in for 3 or 4 days but there does not seem to be an improvement.

  The fuel gauge on my 2.0i Sport Frontera (1998) has packed up - problem is, which end do I start looking?! The tank (sender) end or the dash end? I have checked all of the relevant fuses, and all are OK. Can anyone offer me any advice?
• Wrap up your engine to save fuel 8 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  I see that a German professor at Cologne Tecnical College has developed a new thermal jacket for a car`s engine, that is claimed to save 5% fuel even during the summer months, apart from the obvious benefit of quieter running. It seems one of the prestige German manufacturers will be the first to fit this option.
