Our Esso Super says E5 but is E0 for now. Worth doing some digging on corporate web sites or asking their customer support people as localities vary. Ethanol water lightly rusted my tank which I had to line.

Yes Esso super is Ethanol free see below taken from Esso web site. Luckily this is also my nearest garage 👍👍👍

Although our pumps have E5 labels on them, our Synergy Supreme+ 99 is actually ethanol free (except, due to technical supply reasons, in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland). Legislation requires us to place these E5 labels on pumps that dispense unleaded petrol with ‘up to 5% ethanol’, including those that contain no ethanol, which is why we display them on our Synergy Supreme+ 99 pumps.

There’s currently no requirement for renewable fuel, like ethanol, to be present in super unleaded petrol although this could change in the future, in which case we would comply with any new legislation.
If you think there's light at the end of the tunnel it's usually another train !!

There's a comprehensive report on this in MCN I think last week. Seems the claims are exaggerated. I've still got the copy if anyone is interested but it's probably on their website by now. Cheers Scott
