E10 petrol is already widely used around the world, including across Europe.

In Europe, I have been using this in a 2001 NBFL since I bought it 4 years ago. No problems ever seen.

Just spoken to Mazda UK and as the car is a 2002 , the engine etc would have been built earlier confirmed by the VIN , so the answer is no to using 95/E10 . so I will have to switch to super grade , as I only do around 5k per year , not such a big deal .

Yes I did ,nevertheless ,having had the car from new ,ie 19 years ,I would not want to take any chances ,as my mileage is relatively low,56k from new ,I am sticking to the manufacturers recommendation.
