E10 is coming…

You may have seen in the news that petrol will be changing throughout Great Britain. Throughout summer 2021, forecourts are going to be replacing the current 'E5' petrol with 'E10' fuel, which contains more renewable ethanol. This change only applies to standard (95 octane) petrol, and doesn't affect diesels. The change comes as part of the government's plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel-powered cars by 2030, with E10 petrol predicted to reduce transport carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 750,000 tonnes a year; the equivalent of removing 350,000 cars from the roads. At our sites E10 will replace standard petrol, though our Ultimate will remain E5. It is important to note that if your car was made prior to 2011 it will not be compatible with E10, but you can still fill up with Ultimate Fuel.
