Frequently asked questions
Can I use BP Unleaded 91 with ethanol in my car?

BP has sold more than 100 million litres of e10 in Australia since 2000 without recording a single vehicle complaint. If you have any doubts about compatibility, consult your vehicle’s manual, contact the manufacturer or go to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries at www.fcai.com.au

How do biofuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
When BP Unleaded 91 with ethanol with ethanol is combusted in your engine, it emits CO2 and other greenhouse gases in quantities comparable to regular unleaded. However, unlike regular unleaded, the renewable feedstock used to make the biofuel blend – such as sugar cane and wheat – absorbs CO2 as it grows, partially offsetting these greenhouse gas emissions.
