I understand that this year regular unleaded will be "upgraded" to 10% ethanol.
Will this cause problems with the fuel system in the Midas?

Thanks for the link,
The plan seems to be to 10% ethanol for standard petrol, but the current 5% will still be available, I will just have to wait to see the final outcome.

The government have promised that 5% fuel will be available until 2025 but they have changed their policies a few times, like banning the sale of ic cars by 2030 instead of 2040 which was the initial date.
