if anyone is wondering why i did this it is because of the declining quality of fuel and not knowing what your gonna get, so by getting it tuned on this i can run just about anything and not break. but thats not say im gonna see what she does with quality fuel

The E10 at each servo will differ heaps. Also depends what ECU you have because some have ethanol content sensors which is handy.

Thought E10 was the equivalent to 95 premium, as it's often allowed as a replacement for OEM cars that require premium from factory.

Since basic E10 is 91RON mixed with 10% Ethanol giving it a RON of 93-94 wouldn't it be > than 91RON?

avgas is 110 and e10 may use ethanol to bump the octane but because its diluted into fuel its burn changes and as a result it is crap in forced induction cars with high comp or high boost because you cant pump in more timing to make more power because it will ping but a longer burning fuel ie higher octane-more timing-more boost-more power so it is bottom of the barrel crap then 91>95>98 bla bla bla

E10 fuel here are based on standard ULP which renders it not even good enough to start a mower.
