A state government campaign to clear up myths about E10 fuel could save motorists as much as $10 a tank at the pump.
Looking at petrol prices in Wollongong on Wednesday, E10 was as much as 18 cents a litre cheaper than premium unleaded.
That means a saving of $10.80 when filling a 60-litre tank.
The E10 pump is also cheaper than regular unleaded, though the savings are smaller – around $1.20 on that 60-litre tank.
The government’s Fuel for Thought website allows motorists to enter their car’s details to check its compatibility with E10.
“Despite common misconceptions, E10 is not bad for your engine and is compatible with most modern cars on NSW roads today,” said NSW Better Regulation Minister Matt Kean.
