Hi I've been running my 2010 civic 1.8es, on Sainsbury's super unleaded E5 for ages with no issues - runs fine. But last two tank full it has run badly getting some small misfires and spluttering on idle, coughing a bit too on acceleration.
So I switched back to Esso supreme 99 E5 straight away ran much better, switched back to Sainsbury's after that and it's pants again! Using more fuel too!
I'd heard a rumour that petrol companies are gradually now increasing the ethanol up to the full 5 & 10% now.
So If thought I'd check Sainsbury's E5 by me - it's now 4%. I'm sure I've seen videos on tube where other people have tested it and it was about 2.5%.
I'm going to test Esso next to see what that is at present. Anyone else noticed this?
