94 is ethanol dosed. It’s always cheaper by about two cents.

Unleaded 94 is E10, thats why it’s cheaper

Yes E10 or 94 is usually cheaper than 91 and often by about 2 cents. Just comes down to ethanol being cheaper than the anti knocking agents used in petrol.

Gutted I didn’t fill up 2 weeks ago when the light came on. The timing of my laziness to coincide with a middle eastern war 😟

Ethanol has 3% less energy density than petrol. So you’ll use more and the $/km maths does not add up when you save 2c which is less than 1% saving. So until E10 becomes to be around 6-7c cheaper at the $2/L range, it will cost you more.

It’ll be a very VERY cold day in hell before I taint my car with the shit that is E10 fuel.

Because it has ethanol. Made with sugar cane, during WW2 most of the Pacific was supplied by Bundaberg distillery.

About 3% lower energy density (comparing the two mixed fuels).
Not knocking ethanol (race cars use it), but I make a vague attempt at doing the maths. And I have a tiny 40-litre tank, so every km counts. If it’s 2c/l difference I’m very definitely buying the regular over the e10, thanks.
Re. octane (91 vs. 94). Do you know what the phrase [engine knocking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking) means? If not, you should just buy ’91 or e10. 98 gives zero benefit.
