Supplementary question - will premium fuel also become E10 or just economy? I generally use Esso or Shell (Vpower) premium as the better economy offsets the higher pump price so that overall cost per mile is about equal but with the benefit of a cleaner fuel. If premium fuel isn't going to have ethanol added maybe we just need to accept that we will have to get used to spending more at the pump when we need to fill up, but we will refill less frequently as we will get better economy, in which case what's the problem?
Anyone whose car has a carburetor and many that had issues with running on unleaded.

I expect Rover's petrol engines will be okay.

However as to whether you will get more to the gallon is unknown.

If your car was built from 2011 then yes you will benefit but the older cars I doubt it.
