Now I'm curious to find out what % ethanol is in all different brands of E5 & E10
feral reef
Yeah actually relevant too if you're trying the find the best deal

Does E5 have to be 98 octane?

In NL it is, but in Germany and other countries you can get 95E5
It's not inherently 98 by design

This was in August
Which I think was around the time the prices peaked?
so 2,09/liter was a steal 😂
July in NL
I think that's the highest liter price I've ever paid

Nice diesel price it's still like 2,3€/l a liter here. But at least it has gone down from 2,65€/l which it peaked at.
