Well worth digging out the user manual for the bike before just continuing to fill up with regular unleaded when it changes to e10 soon.

The gov website says no probs to use in my zzr.
Check the manual. Nope. Do not use according to Kawasaki.
Ah well. Looks like ill be switching to the expensive stuff.

Thought E5 was available for the next 5 years?

Just bought a fancy new webber Carb setup for my Lada project and shat myself when I read about ethanol ruining brass.... But for the next 5 years it'll be OK then after that... Well.... Tesla conversion if its not inevitably sold

Standard petrol changes this summer.
E5 will be available but only in super unleaded (97 ron). So yes will be able to get it but be 10% more expensive.

It has been E10 in France for years 2013 at least with a surcharge foe E5.

As for everything costing more, this is largely due to Joe Bidan's $1.7 trillion stimulus package. US companies are buying up raw materials from around the world like locusts. Very little to do with Brexit.
