Ask Smithy Xtra E10 in Peugeot 306

Asked by Richard

I rack up many kilometres in my 1998 1.8-litre, 16-valve Peugeot 306 and was wondering if using E10 petrol would harm it in the long run?

The recommended fuel for the Pug is 91, regular unleaded, so I don’t see any reason not to use E10. Oil companies claim that E10 has a minimum octane of 94, higher than the recommended octane rating.
