The fuel too much
Consisting of 10% beet ethanol, the new E10 fuel is now available at service stations. Behind an environmental interest far from being demonstrated, this agrofuel is economic absurdity.
Launched the 1er April, one would have hoped it was a hoax. But no, the new fuel E10 (or SP95-E10), composed of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol beet or wheat, will indeed try to win in gas stations at the place of the SP 95. An economic absurdity, so much so that Germany has given up launching this E10 to avoid heavily penalizing some of its motorists.
For its part, the French government has decided to anticipate the European objectives of incorporating agrofuels, ignoring the compatibility issues of cars in circulation. He suddenly appears as a fervent advocate of beet growers, the largest suppliers of this ethanol, and that's a shame. For two reasons. The first is that 40% of fleet running on gasoline may be damaged by the use of this agrofuel (1) If it replaces the current SP 95, as expected, all cars sold until the 2000 year will have to switch to SP 98, a more expensive fuel that is similar to a Franco-French specificity: it is hardly found outside the borders. As for the E10, if it is sold at the price of SP 95 in its beginnings, even 1 2 cents less to get it off the ground, it will only be temporary. The cost price of a fuel produced from beet or wheat is much higher than that of gasoline: it will be necessary to raise the price at the pump.
Fewer kilometers with a full
And as a misfortune never happens alone, the motorist who will pay this fuel a little more expensive at the pump will be able to travel a little less kilometers with a full, because its calorific value is lower than that of gasoline. As for the environmental interest of the operation, it remains clearly to be demonstrated, the controversy on the impact of agrofuels being always so strong. Conclusion: as long as it remains SP 95 pumps, it is better to avoid refueling E10.
