Anyone tried it? I;ve just got a FULL tank of it to check it out as our large shell station has removed all shell premium 95 with E10!

Will be interested to see how it goes. Hubby refuses to use it , his cars and dirt bikes hate the stuff!, run really rough though I have friends who swear by it and say they get even better economy than reg. unleaded. Noticed the changes at Shell.

Keep us updated.

Thats it, 17.5L current economy, normally 15L, therefore, no worth the couple of extra cents savings!

My last lot of fuel (reg unleaded) came from my normal servo which has just added E10. My usual economy is 13lt approx, cant get this run down below 15lt - 16lt . Was wondering if they sold me E10 instead of regular unleaded or If I am just having a bad run?. Will see how the next tank goes.

Thanks for the info, wont bother trying E10....... or maybe I already have ;)

Proves my point, ran it to the empty line, fill today with 10L of 95 to clean up the rest. Back to 95, had to give it a go and see, i did see the economy drop to 15L by still higher than premium under same highway conditions. Thank goodness the fuel price has dropped!

i think the whole nation should protest against it and avoid petrol stations who only stock E10 fuel.

this will show them how much business they will lose in the long run.

i too had bad experiences wit E10 and avoid them at all costs.

i am personally happy with regular unleaded i don't know why they changing it when there is no fuel economy benefit.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
