I have a 2003 Astra 1.6 manual that has covered just over 86,000trouble free miles. However, since putting E10 in it's running erratically and jerky as I pull away or take my foot off the throttle pedal. Whether it's the fault of the petrol or another problem, I don't know. I guess the first action I should take is to fill up with a higher premium petrol and see if that cures it. Having a number of vintage & classic cars & motorcycles I am already suspicious of this new petrol but back in the 60's I used to run my bikes on Cleveland Discol which had alcohol added and I suffered no problems with it then.
E5 or E10, Who has problems.
