"Den 98-oktaniga bensinen kommer även fortsättningsvis endast att innehålla 5% etanol och saluförs under beteckningen E5."https://www.gmhk.se/sv/bensin.html

 

"Fuel with an octane rating of 98 will still only contain 5% ethanol and is sold as E5 fuel."https://www.gmhk.se/en/fuel-sweden.html#

 

"Bensinutbudet i Sverige ändras den 1/9  2021 på grund av ändringar i den så kallade reduktionsplikten.

Standardbensinen idag är 95-oktanig bensin med inblanding av 5% etanol. Denna inblandning kommer att höjas till 10%, och denna bensin går under beteckningen E10. Bilar yngre än 10 år lär kunna köra på denna bensin utan problem. För äldre bilar kan problem uppstå, framför allt i bränslepump, packningar och slangar. BIL Sweden har sammaställt en lista över ett större antal personbilsmodeller och hur de tål E10-bensin. Den listan hittar du här."

 

"Se i övrigt Transportstyrelsens information om E10."https://www.gmhk.se/sv/bensin.html

 

"Fuel types in Sweden change on September 1st 2021 due to new regulations.

Standard fuel in Sweden today is 95 octane fuel with an admixture of 5% ethanol. This admixture will be increased to 10%; this fuel will be sold as E10. Cars yonger than 10 years old should have no problem with this fuel. Older cars may suffer probles with fuel pumps, tubing and gaskets. BIL Sweden has collected a list of vehicles and their tolerance to E10 fuel This list can be found here."https://www.gmhk.se/en/fuel-sweden.html#

Yes, I am aware of this. Thanks.

 

Currently, I am driving on 24% ethanol and 76% petrol. I haven't noticed any difference in idle or engine behaviour. I would say it consumes about the same amount of fuel. There is a 2-4% increase, which is probably due to my driving style,traffic or outside temperature rather than the engine using more. Cold starting at 5-8 degrees Celsius is no problem. No engine light either.  

 

I do not know the long-term effects yet. Maybe it can cause the pipes and fuel pump to work harder. A decent goal would be to drive using 30% ethanol.
