Below is a question Andy Hyland[a committee member of a historic vehicle club] posed to Esso Customer Care:-
"There is a lot of discussion as to whether ESSO Premium Petrol has any ethanol content or not. Would you please confirm if there is any ethanol in petrol from Esso Stations?"
REPLY:-
"Thank you for contacting Esso Customer Care. The majority of unleaded 95 Octane petrol sold in the UK contains 5% ethanol as required under the Governments Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations [RTFO]. There is currently no requirement for renewable fuel [such as ethanol] to be present in super unleaded [97 Octane grade fuel]. Esso super unleaded petrol [Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97 ] is ethanol free [ except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland ] and we have no current intention to add ethanol to Synergy Supreme+ in other areas of the UK.. We would therefore advise anyone who has concerns about the presence of ethanol in petrol to use Synergy Supreme+ ,providing they do not fill up in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area or Scotland".
