Thank you for sharing this information, we’re picking our Alphard up in a few weeks, can’t wait to get on our travels! Been reading quite a few comments on E10 & as per the advice from Toyota we will use E5 and carry an E10 additive in case of emergency!!
Premium Unleaded (95 RON)
Super Unleaded (97 / 98 RON)
I understand 95 RON will no longer be available when E10 is rolled out.
So will you use E5 (97 RON) for next 5 years? I’m concerned what fuel to use when E5 is no longer available?
My concern is for the future…the Government is rolling out E10 petrol in September & basic unleaded will no longer be available. E5 (super unleaded) will continue to be available & this can be used in Alphards (non European models) & classic cars, however reports say E5 will only remain available for next 5 years & will then be reviewed by the Government, also the cost of E5 will go up! Feels like LPG conversion is the way to go.
We’re in the same position, it’s very concerning that the Alphard is not E10 compatible. I’ve been reading up on this, E5 is ok to use but it will only be available for 5 years… then the Gov will decide if it remains on the forecourts!!
The Gov website says E10 is compatible for Toyota European models - Not sure if this applies to imported cars?
