Sure ethanol isn't as 'energy dense' and in theory a tiny drop off of performance compared to straight 95 petrol - about 2% I believe. I doubt anyone could ever tell the difference.

So at more than 4c per litre cheaper than normal 91 unleaded I'll stay with PLUS

More info here if interested http://www.unitedpetroleum.com.au/news.html
Its also the sh.ttest fuel you could put in your car. Also its a 10% ethanol mix, i belive you'll find the focus shouldnt be running that type of fuel (both new and old), its not healthy. I belive there is a thread thats got the link to tests and reports about this
