I've just come back from an emergency trip to Tesco (someone drank all my wine :shock::shock:) and they were all queueing there. About a ¼ mile tailback. I parked in the swimming pool car park next door to walk in. A guy there said he was a tanker driver and that there's no shortage of drivers or fuel. I felt very smug:cool:
Il tell you what, if it was released there could be potential potato shortages the same moronic lemmings would rush out and buy every single spud they could find! Even if they do not need them!! Thats the stupid mentality out there eh!

As per above E10 is acceptable.
Have you checked for balance shaft issues on your engine?

I'm guessing my 2002 CLK 320 W208 will be fine on E10 as well? I normally run it on super anyway - its already a smooth V6 but on super its super smooth :cool:I reckon it gives better MPG on super so the price difference is slightly offset. I notice that the bigger V8s also do that.

Yes it will be fine.
I've never noticed any difference in mpg between 98, 95 or E10 in our E Class E240.

First tank of E10 in my CLK M272, there appears to be no difference as with LostKiwi.

Sorry, but that means nothing to me. I know it doesn't specifically mention SLK but all this catalytic converter stuff - who knows whether I have that or not.
