That is not true. E10 has 10%, Super has 5% and SuperPlus is straight gasoline (ie NO ethanol!). The problem is AAFES has done ZERO training when it comes to E10. Even their signs are missleading when they say: "IF you are unsure IF your car can use E10 use Super (5% ethanol) or SuperPlus".

The correct answer is IF you are unsure you should ONLY use SuperPlus. Because only SuperPlus is the old formulated high octane fuel. 100% benzin with NO ethanol!!!
