 E10 fuel - VxFan
E5 grade unleaded petrol is soon to be being phased out, and is being replaced with E10.

E10 petrol contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, which will help to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with petrol vehicles and tackle climate change. Petrol in the UK currently contains up to 5% renewable ethanol (known as E5).

Can your petrol vehicle use E10 fuel? Stats suggest that 95% of cars can run on it.

However, that's not the only thing to consider. E10 only has a shelf life of up to 3 months. So, if you don't use your vehicle very often, e.g. it is a 2nd vehicle, such as a motorbike, motorhome, classic car, etc, then you're going to have to fork out extra money for super unleaded which is going to remain E5 (well for now anyway), or an additive.

And then there's your petrol lawnmower, strimmer, hedge cutter, etc. E10 petrol will be no good for these unless you use them regularly and also drain out the E10 petrol over winter.
