Australia's NRMA urges drivers to adopt E10 petrol to conserve fuel, despite low adoption due to myths and industry opposition.
The NRMA is urging Australian drivers to switch to E10 petrol—10% ethanol—to help conserve fuel supplies amid energy concerns.
E10, made domestically, is safe for most vehicles built after 2000 and is currently cheaper in Sydney than regular unleaded.
Despite its benefits, uptake remains low due to persistent myths about engine damage and fuel efficiency, partly fueled by opposition from oil companies.
A 2007 NSW mandate for 6% ethanol has never been met, and E10’s market share fell from 39% in 2010 to 21% in 2021.
Globally, higher ethanol blends are common, with the U.S., Brazil, and India using 10% to 27%.
While ethanol burns cleaner, its environmental impact varies—using agricultural waste in Australia is efficient, but in other regions, deforestation and high emissions from production can offset benefits.
La NRMA de Australia insta a los conductores a adoptar la gasolina E10 para conservar combustible, a pesar de la baja adopción debido a los mitos y la oposición de la industria.
