Now living in Australia I have acquired a second-hand six-year-old Honda Jazz at auction with 165,000 kilometres on the clock - only an average mileage out here. Australia has already gone down the bio-fuels route with E10 fuel, normal unleaded with 10% ethanol, being the cheapest. Will it do my Jazz or any other car any great harm? Is it safe to use on a regular basis?
