"We currently supply an ethanol-free Synergy Supreme+ 99 unleaded in some parts of the UK. From September 2023 our Synergy Supreme+ 99 will transition to contain up to a maximum of 5% ethanol at all Esso pumps irrespective of which part of the country they are located. The labelling at our pumps will remain as E5 for Synergy Supreme+ 99 unleaded."
2 of my cars have high compression ratios (Giulietta Sprint is 11.2:1 & Elite IS !0.5:1) & I've definitely found that they start easier/run better on ethanol-free petrol - & the fuel doesn't degrade (or attack fuel hoses) like E5/E10.

Yesterday I filled up with esso zero ethanol, 2.02 euro per litre.
There were 3 grades, top at 98 octane, next 95 octane graded e10 then another graded e15 which carried a suitability warning as e10 does in the UK.
Bit confusing.
I've run the 987.2 Boxster on E10 for at least 3 years or whatever it was before these E numbers.
Porsche approve these low grade fuels for the Boxsters.

Boxster 987 Gen II 2.9
Just filled the Boxster up, local garage, 98 octane @ 1.76 euro per lire.
Shell station further down the road was 12 cents more expensive.
Certainly easy to get a fuel choice here in Austria.
