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.
 

Ethanol and your Honda

The following Honda vehicles may be operated using fuel containing up to 10% ethanol (E10):

  • Accord
    2003 onwards
  • Civic (including Hybrid)
    2004 onwards
  • Integra
    2002 onwards
  • Legend
    2007 onwards
  • Odyssey
    2004 onwards
  • Accord Euro
    2003 onwards
  • CR-V
    2003 onwards
  • Jazz
    2004 onwards
  • MDX
    2003 onwards
  • S2000
    2004 onwards

Other Honda vehicles were not designed or tested with E10 and therefore the long-term effects are not proven.

Ethanol contains less energy value than petrol.  In theory, some loss of power and fuel economy (possibly 2-3%) may occur when using E10.

For further information, please refer to your vehicle owner's manual, or telephone the Honda Customer Hotline on (freecall) 1800 804 954.
