[Sir Tigger KC]

Looks like this new fangled E10 petrol (that they've been using for years in other countries!  ) might not be suitable for Omegas and you might have to use Super Unleaded instead! 

Which of course is not a problem for Lord Opti and his Signum, but the extra 10p odd a litre might be fiscally challenging for some. 

For those with older lawnmowers, it might be wise to run those on Super Unleaded as well, but maybe that will speed up the lawn mowing!

It seems the 2.2 four pot Omega/Signum can't use it.

I think the mighty 2.8 V6 can.

If you own an omega, you've got bigger problems than E10.

[dave the builder]

Super is about £5 a tank more than regular ,
the wallet thickness sensor in the driver's seat of an omega doesn't register fivers ,only only 10s, 20s and 50s 
My Omega demanded £85 today, but it wasn't empty empty   

I don't have to worry about depreciation though 

[ronnyd]

Filling it up tripled the value Dave.

[dave the builder]

Filling it up tripled the value Dave.

I imagine the value will drop sharply again in the next 300 miles

Just the 2.2 direct injection on the Zaf, Vectra and Signum. Desmond is ok as it isn't direct injection. Believe DG mentioned this as well.

Quickly too.

Ill conceived scaremongering brought about by the electrically biased motorimg press

The direct injection desmond in the Vectrum struggled to run properly for long on regular unleaded from new

As alluded to elsewhere, the Omegas will probably run on Polish vodka.

The only real consideration is to either use an additive or super unleaded and leave the fuel system drained if you're goingg to be parking the car up for any time, none of which is exactly news

I haven't tried it for a while, but V  Power used to give enough of an improvement in economy as to cover the extra cost. 12p a litre might be a stretch though

                Yes you will go further on a gallon of V power than ordinary petrol so not as bad as it seems.

Does this apply to lawnmowers as well?   

[Raeturbo]

Never tried one Steve👀👍

[Marks DTM Calib]

No Omega power plants affected, in fact the only GM Europe engine impacted is the direct injection petrol as already stated

You don't know what you're missing Rae!
