Hi there
We have a 1998 Mazda mx5 that states on the filler cap Premium Unleaded with BP insignia - understand this is generally referred to as 95 Octane.
Could this vehicle also be run on Premium Unleaded fuels with Ethanol additive? e.g. Gull Force 10 which has 10% ethanol

Hi there,
From the information I can see, MX5 models from NC (2005-) can run on 10% Ethanol blended fuel. https://www.aa.co.nz/cars/owning-a-car/fuel-prices-and-types/biofuel-and-environmentally-friendly-cars/
