With the impending arrival of E10 fuel on 1st September, it is not known how long smaller suppliers will have E5 in their tanks before they fill them up with E10. Larger suppliers will continue to supply E5 alongside the new fuel for 5 years (or maybe longer if the legislation changes). I wonder what the difference in price will be, Hmmm?
Aside of the problematic issues for older/classic cars, you can check your daily "newer" car's compatability with E10 on the following government site;
www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrol
It's a bit basic in content but it seems my 1997 Mondeo can run on E10 without the rubber bits disintegrating.... we hope!
PS. Practical Classic magazine are doing a full article on E10 fuel in the October issue (available 1st September,by coincidence!)

E10 fuel is already at some station pumps,
Be sure to check before you put fuel in

As E5 fuel is going to be "marginalised" I hope that they clearly indicate the lone pump to save me queueing up at the wrong side.

Esso have stated that their super unleaded grade will have no ethanol (despite being labled E5...which means it may contain between 0% and 5% ethanol). Except in certain areas including Devon and Cornwall and the north of England. However it is very vague what constitutes the north of England. I have e-mailed them to clarify if my local Esso station will have ethanol free fuel but just got the standard non-answer. I'm now running super unleaded in my Cherry (and it runs even sweeter on this) and adding ethomix as I have done for some years.

What is Ethomix?

Hi, Ed. Thanks for dropping in. You need to get out more (in the 910)! LOL.
