While the car should work perfectly fine on 95E10, I've been told by several mechanics that 98E5 results in slightly cleaner fuel lines etc. Any possible difference is probably marginal, but as the difference in cost is also very small, I decided to go with 98E5.

No Jag I'm aware of has ever been harmed by using E10. Beware the sky is falling crowd.

My apologies, not intending to hijack this thread. I am asking to learn the differences. It used to be, the higher the octane rating the better, or so I thought. I haven't researched this ethanol thing much except that it seems to wreak havoc on different engine systems, especially those that sit for periods of time. I may be totally wrong on this however.
I appreciate any information shared here.

Curious. I think I have maybe once seen a fuel station here in Finland that didn't sell 98E5 in addition to 95E10. Teboil actually sells 99E5 instead of 98E5, while Shell at least at some point had a 100 octane fuel.
