In the latest Straight Six News from AutobahnStormers there is an interesting article reproduced from the Mercedes Benz Club UK Magazine.
It explains the legislation from 1st September 2021 to introduce E10 petrol as standard for the current 95 octane with Super grade petrol, previously 97 octane, being classified as E5. Importantly it gives a link to the government website to check E10 petol suitability for our cars,
www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrolAccording to that website the exceptions for Vauxhall vehicles states:
"E10 petrol is cleared for use in all Vauxhall vehicles with petrol engines, excluding:
Models with the 2.2 litre direct injection petrol engine, motor code: Z22YH (Vectra, Signum, Zafira)"
Some of you may know this already, but for me, and I suspect a lot of motorists, this is news I had not picked up on before.
It looks as though our Omega's are unaffected by this new petrol legislation. So is this non-news or not?
