Yes it is as per VW.

I've used a few tanks of E10.... can't see any difference.

E10 has been standard across many european countries for some time, its only the UK late to the party.

Same here  Fred, also had a few fill ups with E10. Just wondered if anyone is bothering with E5 super unleaded. Just seems a waste to me.

Oh gawd, don't start asking people whether they think paying extra for their fuel gives them anything....

Always used V-Power and will continue, E5 99RON. Probably a placebo effect, but with the mileage I do the cost differential is two fifths of FA.

E10 is not recommended for GTI at least in Germany. The owners manual state to only use if E5 is not available.

My user guide says "Fill vehicles with a petrol engine only with unleaded petrol or petrol with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10)"

Could this be a factor in why uk testers seem to get more power and faster 0-60/62 than official figures? For my mk6 was advised to use super, so plan to when it finally arrives unless consensus here is otherwise.
