What is Ethanol?

Ethanol is an alcohol which is distilled from fermented agricultural crops such as wheat and sugar cane. In some cases, it is then blended with petrol in various concentration levels.

The following Honda vehicles are Ethanol compliant up to 10% (E10).

Some cars are not compatible with Ethanol meaning you must use 95 RON fuel when specified on your vehicle fuel label (see right). If you're unsure, always refer to your owner's manual
