Seemed to have sorted problem (see previous post) - duff plugs.

Glad to hear you have sorted it !
The only super unleaded that has no ethanol added is Esso Synergy Supreme, all the other brands "Shell" "BP" etc all have ethanol added, usually 10% & this is going to increase... >:(

Unless it has altered very, very recently Our local Sainsbury was unleaded up to 8% and Super Unleaded 3% As I asked.
philward:
Just checked and BP Ultimate has no ethanol in as well - think there's a post on ethanol in fuel on the forum

The EU was going to enforce the use of ethanol in all fuels (including diesel) from April 2017 but it doesn't appear to have happened. Probably too busy with #@%$. BP Ultimate in the North West is definitely still ethanol free.

I had this reply from BP :- dated 2014
Thank you for your email concerning the fuel sold by BP.
In "most regions" of the UK our Ultimate Unleaded dos not contain any Ethanol at present (South West UK excluded).
This may of course change in the future as the specification allows up to 5%. If there will be any changes, these will bw shown on the pumps and at the stations.
BP ultimate will never have more than 5% ethanol until January 2017 when it could be increased to 10%
dated 2018, Shell & Ethanol. in the UK, Shell regular unleaded and Shell V-Power unleaded are likely to contain some ethanol, but it will not be present at more than 5% (in accordance with current UK specification requirements

So this contradicts your original post on ethanol percentages then.
Glad to hear you have sorted it !
