Hey all. My 3.8 Litre VS Ute....... I'm using 91 octane petrol. Is E10/94 Octane ok to run as well? Or is it bad for a 30 year old vehicle?

Unless the vehicle was made to run on E10 it’s a bad idea to use it. The ethanol can break down certain fuel system components (rubbers, etc) that aren’t made to handle ethanol.
