A measure in the combat against climate change, Finland is increasing the share of biofuels in road transport.
As from January 2011, the E10 petrol with up to 10% v/v ethanol (95 E10) is the principal petrol quality in Finland. The 98 E5 petrol with up to 5% v/v ethanol is available for vehicles that are not compatible with the new 95 E10. The car’s octane requirement always has precedence over other fuel recommendations: 98 E5 petrol should be used in cases where the octane requirement is higher than 95 whereby the 95 E10 is not suitable for use.
The official website contains compatibility information of various car makes and models with the new 95 E10 petrol. Advice may also be sought from car dealers and importers.
