Can my 2022 MG ZST run on e10, and is 20 percent window tint legal?
According to the manufacturer, your MG can not be run on E10 petrol. But the MG ZST can live with E5 fuel (petrol with up to five per cent ethanol content) if you can find it. Unfortunately, most ethanol blended fuels in Australia are up to 10 per cent (E10) so you should give them a miss.
Window tinting rules vary from state to state, but in Queensland (where UV light levels are higher than, say Tasmania) you can get away with slightly darker tint and still be legal. But, a window tint that is 20 per cent VLT (Visible Light Transference, or; the percentage of light the tint allows through) is only legal on privately-registered cars in QLD on the rear and rear-side windows. The front side windows cannot be tinted to less than 35 per cent VLT and the windscreen can not be tinted at all (beyond a factory tint) apart from the top 10 per cent of the glass area. So, no, a 20 per cent VLT tint all round would not be legal.
