I use e10 95 octane.
I've tried e5 98 octane (and even 100 octane) but I don't think it's worth the extra price.

Fine with E10 averaging 44mpg mixed driving and don't think E5 is worth the extra money.

I'm with fourbanks on this. Have been using E10, but fuel consumption appears to have increased. It also runs smoother on E5.

Mazda

E10 petrol is cleared for use in all models with petrol engines introduced in and from the year 2002, Mazda6 (GG/GY) and models with petrol engines introduced thereafter, namely:

*Mazda 2 (dy/de) *.Mazda 3 (bk/bl) *Mazda 5 (cr/cw) *Mazda mx-5 (nc) *Mazda cx-5 (ke) *Mazda 6 (gg/gy/gh) *Mazda cx-7 (er) *Mazda cx-9 (tb) *Mazda rx-8 (se)

Conditions are that the vehicle has not been modified and original parts have been used for maintenance and repair.

Older models, and those not listed above should continue to use E5 petrol.

However, the minimum octane number of the petrol (95 or 98) prescribed by the manufacturer must be respected.


Does it worry anyone ( CX3 owners ) that the CX3 isnt mentioned above ?

You needn't worry, the CX-3 Owner's Manual specifically states E10 is OK.

Thanks for that - I must admit I did a splash and dash this morning and all seems okay
