See http://fbhvc.co.uk/2012/04/13/fuel-stab ... t-results/.

I have read that E10 is not to be introduced next year, though it is coming. It would also appear that buying super unleaded reduces the chance of having ethanol in your fuel (In some, perhaps many cases, it means there will be no ethanol in it). Of my cars, only the Morris will run on ordinary unleaded; the MGs both require super unleaded anyway and I have started using it in the Morris, as whilst I am able to not require an ethanol remedy, I think prevention has to be better than cure.

Ah that explains a lot. Old engines are offcially addictive... right up there with alcohol, tobacco and Columbian marching powder...
