Biofuel on its way.
Will be coming out of pumps near you soon!
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=24900
From what I gather, there will be a slight drop in power due to the reduced calorific value of E10. Also expect to a reduced mpg and an increase in £/litre. Cant see anything positive in it, another government money spinner??
Wonder how it will effect the running of my 22 year old bike?

Over the five per cent level and the pump must, by law, be labelled "Not suitable for all vehicles: consult vehicle manufacturer before use."
|
What tosh! So how many owners of 'older' cars can actually contact the manufacturer and obtain the information? Good chance most of them will be history (MGR, BL etc etc)
