The costs, in reality, are so close to each other that the disparate grades really seem pointless ... Unless they plan to raise the cost of higher grades over time. In the long term, the difference between the bottom and the top grades is not much more than a visit to the petrol station. I did notice that bioethanol is not listed as a fuel type on the DVLA website. Nor is their any reference to the Biopower car; only the petrol and diesel cars. I have enquired :) My feeling is that they will class it as a petrol car, despite the ability to run on E85. Paul Vart tog v”gen v”gen? SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close
