I have run it and had no problems.
Talk is that BP 98 is still a better fuel though.

If you use the car often its OK, but if you were going to park it and not do alot of K's for weeks on end I would avoid ethanol fuel as it not very nice to alot of older rubber hoses and the like.

How does that work? There is still ethanol in the lines when the car is running, and also off.

hmm thats the problem with this fuel you have people on both sides and dont know what to think. Of course its all just here say and the thing about that is it mostly bs. Oh my fuel pump died and i started using e10 xxx ago must have been that... Well it could have gone anyway who knows.. Still I ran it in the mr2 turbo and it seemed to love it but i always had that worry in the back of my mind.

E10 is the equivalent of 95 octane. I haven't used it but I have used P100 a few times. Seems to pick up some torque however my car was tuned on P100.

Smells alot better over all.

BS you say? Here's a good example of the difference between an ethanol compatible line and one that isn't - http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/06/piston-slap-the-corrosive-effects-of-ethanol-laced-gasoline/

It's also generally the o-rings that you need to worry about as they will fail much sooner than the rubber hoses.

Dont run it if you are to scared of it eating your fuel lines or "O rings".

what i was thinking Razz. Thats also why I tend to think it should be ok. Why would petrol stations bother selling it with the risk of a class action or something?
