I can already feel the difference in my road car with E10. Power down, fuel consumption goes up and the engine doesn't run as well when idle. Even though E5 is more expensive I will keep using it.

Same here Ferry, although E5 is more expensive, I think fuel consumption with E10 is so high, that in the end it is cheaper to use the more expensive fuel.

Not sure how it compares with the EU but currently we are paying A$1.88+ per litre for the E5 equivalent.

Ouch! I won't whinge so much.
Even the Av Gas the GT40R drinks isn't so bad in comparison!
I did look at Tesla but the model I'd want is/was difficult to get hold of in Oz especially due to COVID so that was the end of that idea (for now).
