Can I use E10 unleaded fuel in my 2013 Audi A5? I've heard that due to the reduced performance from using E10 means the price differential between normal unleaded fuel and E10 is negated. So firstly, is it bad for the engine to use E10, and secondly does it make economic sense to use E10?
Yes, you can use E10 in your A5, but because E10 packs less energy than 95-octane premium unleaded the performance of your car will be diminished. The difference can be between one and eight percent, so you will consume more E10 to achieve the same performance. You won't do your engine any harm by using it, so try a tank of E10 and measure the difference in consumption that you get.
