Thanks guys, really put my mind at ease; plus it's not my car so thank god it's compatible lol I think I'll do some research on fuel and get a better understanding haha. Any good sites you'd recommend for that?

The Mazda 6 will be fine. In fact, Mazda Australia lists the Mazda 6 (all models except the MPS and diesel engine variants) as E10 compatible.

So not to worry mate.
Thanks mate, that link really helped me out.

Apart from that, if is a petrol engine you will notice more fuel usage, but the RON of E10 is RON94.5 so it is better than the low grade and almost the same as the middle grade fuel
Regular fuel is 91ron, premium is 95 and super is 98 so yeah don't worry about it. You can run it without a problem, it will run like a dog for a tank if you usually put super, then it will tune itself to retard the base timing more and more, and it will feel the same as normal, but it will use more fuel. If you usually fill premium, you won't notice a difference apart from fuel spent.
lol thankfully it's not. Thanks for the info! Learn something new everyday haha
