Your experience is in line with what we've been assured would happen when switching to E10.

I would go back to the dealer he bought the car from and park it in his front yard until he restores it to the condition in which it was when your grandson bought it. If the dealer has changed the tyres as you allege he has acted fraudulently. The car as delivered was not in the condition it was when your grandson agreed to buy it. If the dealer doesn't come to the party take your case directly to Toyota.

According to the FCAI website, which uses information supplied by the carmakers, you can use E10 in your car.

Certainly the experience of car owners varies considerably. Some are telling us there is next to no difference when they use E10, others are like you and say there is a marked difference. We need more experience at this stage to get a good understanding of the real effect.

We haven't had any other reports of the problem on the Camry Hybrid, so it could be something related to the extra equipment you've fitted to your cars to operate as taxis.

Toyotas generally have a belt change interval of 150,000 km, but to be sure check the service booklet, which will show the correct interval.
