You can use 95E10 or 98E5. Won’t make a difference either way except to your wallet.

Yeah that’s my thought for winter motoring.
Ethonal quite expensive atm  , so I think super is about 10p more

Also thinking the actual cost might not that bad as you get less mpg on e10 cheers

The difference is not very much in practice. Around 1% in favor of 98E5 than 95E10. At least here the price for the former is significantly higher than the cost of the expected difference.

If you’re aware of a similar test in the UK market I’m all ears.

I'm seeing quite a drop on mine on e10 in the cold weather to be honest. Never seen such a drop before on any vehicle so can only assume it is the e10 switch 05 D3 V8 HSE, LR Passion tree bars, wildbear compressor guard, LRP switch panel, ARB rear locker + compressor, Trigger 6 shooter electrical system

Best reduction in consumption, that I’ve ever seen, occurred when I figured out that 1. my thermostat leaked (so engine constantly cold), 2. a caliper was stuck AND 3. brake shoes were  .
Took average consumption of 23 L/100 km to figure that out
