Well it turns out it's true!
Sure
People are even washing ethanol out of fuel ...

Less energy in ethanol than in fuel

The V-Power is € 0,213 more expensive in Belgium, then the E10.
It's always the most expensive in Belgium, selling @ max allowed price
Same goes for Total Excellium fuels

V-Power diesel and equivalents from other brands, never were a valuable option:
You could never get the price premium back through reduced fuel cost

So it turns out I'm able to do almost 32KM/L
With E10 I'm able to do max 27KM/L, so per KM tanking the V-Power actually makes the car drive more fuel efficient.
The difference seems huge

But if correct, almost 1/5 increase in FE for 1/7 increase in price is a profit
