E05 or E10 fuel
Just put my 260 back on the road but cannot recall which fuel is required. Advice appreciated.

i think you could use E10 but personally i play safe and use E5. I know that 95 ron is supposed to be all that's required but i feel happier with the super e5.
Others may have different views. Last edited by JJay; 3rd April 2023 at 22:24.. |

MGR say that as far as octane is concerned, the minimum is 95 RON (so E10). For both ZT260 and Rover 75 V8 of course.
However 98 RON is recommended for "optimal performance". I always use Super E5 anyway (my local pump guarantees 0% alcohol as well). |

E5 if you want to get the optimum performance from your 260. It will do better MPG and feel sharper.

Use E5, keep away for E10 for the V8
