From 1 September 2021, the country’s fuel suppliers will start introducing E10 fuel which contains between 5.5% and 10% of renewable ethanol into their supply chains. This will not happen instantaneously everywhere, of course, so there will be a transition period of up to two months. Pumps with E10 fuel will be clearly labelled.
How can Esso help?
Whether your beloved Porsche is fine with E10 fuel or still needs old-style fuels with a lower ethanol level, Esso can offer you options and potentially even an upgrade too. Firstly, Esso’s E10 fuel will be ready and waiting for you and your compatible Porsche. By creating fewer emissions as you travel and coming from a more sustainable source than previous types of fuel in the first place, you can do your bit to help the environment without any change to the way you drive.
Secondly, Esso’s Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded (SU99) will remain on sale and this will offer a high-octane, ethanol-free alternative for those whose cars aren’t compatible with E10 fuel. It also contains detergent additives that help keep your engine clean, making it Esso’s best-ever fuel for keeping your engine in top condition. If you would like guidance on which is the right fuel for your car before filling up, you are more than welcome to check with the staff at Esso-branded service stations too.
Don’t be confused by the E5 grade label that service stations are legally obliged to carry on their pumps. The label indicates a fuel contains up to five per cent ethanol and in most parts of the country (except, due to technical supply reasons, in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland) Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 fuel is ethanol free.
