E10 petrol is set to be rolled out onto Northern Irish forecourts in November, with the greener petrol set to cut emissions across the nation. The new standard grade of petrol was introduced to English, Scottish and Welsh filling stations last September, with millions of drivers now using it as the default.
Despite this, the RAC estimates that as many as 600,000 vehicles on roads are not compatible with the fuel.
Of the most popular German car brands, most Audis are compatible while all BMW models are cleared for the use of E10 regardless of their year of manufacture.
However, the minimum octane required should be observed according to the owner’s manual.
Almost all models from Japanese car makers Honda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki can all accept E10 petrol, as can South Korean brands Hyundai and Kia.
