No. Most mowers are 4 stroke engines. We recommend that people use premium unleaded petrol from September onward to avoid carburetor problems. Regardless of this ethanol increase, we always recommend that our customers drain the fuel from their garden equipment if it will not be used for two weeks or longer, as this could lead to stale fuel issues. It is good...

Yes (assuming your car is OK with E10).

Thanks-car is new (March 2021) so ok.
yes, they can mix, you'll have E7.5! which is better than E10!

Someone mentioned you should not put E10 in your lawnmower?? Is this correct??
Not good for 2 stroke engines apparently.
ref the lawnmower, yes use the premium unleaded. I use that in everything anyway, it works out cheaper and the engine runs better. I get a lot more MPG out of the good stuff in both car and bike.
what about 4 stroke lawnmowers?
//Can I use E10 petrol in my lawnmower?
The AA has warned that owners of petrol-powered lawnmowers should steer clear of E10 petrol and - from this month onwards - only buy super unleaded for their garden equipment.

This is also the case for petrol chainsaws, shredders, wood chippers and generators.

'Petrol powered garden machinery and generators are also likely not to be compatible, so these should use super unleaded after September,' says its technical specialist, Greg Carter.//
