Its only places like Romania where the fuel is full of twigs where you have to worry.

SP95-E10 causes a multitude of problems with the fuel system on older cars, many surprisingly modern bikes, pretty much anything with a carburettor, and it even damages certain paint finishes. It has also caused world-wide food shortages as ground is reallocated to growing bio-crops that can be used to make ethanol rather than less-profitable food.Stick to the 98 the high ethanol 95's have been known to cause issues with the M111 engine in terms of seal and gasket degredation
Does the 97 from supermarkets, Texaco etc have ethanol in it?

This article was mentioned before and might be out of date, but still makes an informative reading, I think:
TR Register
PS I didn't see any info online on supermarket petrols, apart from Tesco Momentum 99 - it does contain 5% ethanol.
I don't know about you guys, but i don't trust supermarket's fuel(all grades). From my life experience dealing with tuned cars(drift, drag, circuit), i can only say one thing, never trust cheap fuel. :failEven in-everyday commuting you can feel the difference in cars performance, engine work, fuel consumption
Nope, you can't. I'll qualify that, though; in Saab Aero turbo engines you can't. I tried a few tanks of V-Power in my 9000 and 9-5 Aeros, and it made no discernible difference to anything.
I use only V-Power or Tesco Momentum in my 55Ks because they are the highest-octane fuels available, and I assume that because of the price they will also have the best additive package. I did try using cooking Asda for a while, just to see if I could discern any difference; again, none.
I suspect that these days, all this guff about cheap supermarket fuel is just that - guff. You may get the odd bad batch, but do people really believe that major supermarket chains with reputations to lose would deliberately sell inferior fuel? I don't.
