Will 12c take the new E10 fuel?

[Abacus21]

Just in case I am stuck a petrol station with no super unleaded. Unless ofcourse its fine to just keep using normal unleaded?

Sitting on 1/2 a tank with none of my locals supplying 99 octane.

Anyone have actual experience with 95 octane E10? Manual says should be ok.

Theoretically the only impact should engine timing being retarderd if knocking is sensed under power at high rpm?

From the manual:
Recommended fuel
For maximum engine performance the use of 98 RON/88 MON unleaded petrol meeting specification EN 228 is required.
NOTE: This vehicle is not suitable for use with fuels containing more than 10% Ethanol.
In areas where 98 RON/88 MON is unavailable, use unleaded premium grade petrol with a minimum octane rating of 95 RON/85 MON, meeting specification EN 228.
Do not use E85 fuels (85% Ethanol content). This vehicle is not fitted with the equipment necessary for the use of fuels containing more than 10% Ethanol. If E85 fuels are used, serious damage will occur to the engine and fuel system.

NOTE: Information relating to the quality of fuel being dispensed is displayed on the filling pump.
NOTE: The likelihood of engine wear or damage is increased if fuel does not meet the requirements of EN 228 for unleaded petrol or if fuel additives are used.
Damage caused by use of incorrect fuel is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

To answer my own question, on yesterday’s track day with 95 octane E10, the 650 was definitely missing the extra burst it normally has above 6k revs. Back on 99 octane now.
