Different types of Diesel in Spain - Which to use?

Leeside · 2010-07-12 17:24:50

I notice that there are two different types of diesel in Spain. One is e+ and the other 1e+. The 1e+ is about 6 cent per litre more expensive. I'm wondering what the difference is between the two and is one better than the other for a Passat.

According to the blurb "Diesel e+10" is designed to meet the needs of Euro5 engines.

Thanks for that link. Interesting.

I filled my tank with the e+ diesel a few days ago as I was thinking that 1e+ might be biodiesel which is not suitable for my '08 passat. I must check at the local station again to make sure I have the names correct. I don't recall seeing e+10.
