Original consultation

Summary

Seeks views on extending the requirement for filling stations to sell super unleaded petrol which contains no more than 5% ethanol.

This consultation ran from
29 August 2013 to 11:45pm on 27 September 2013

Consultation description

The vast majority of the UK petrol fleet is compatible with E10 fuel (petrol with 10% ethanol content), but there are still a significant number of vehicles - around 12% or 2.5 million cars - which are classified as non-compatible.

The roll out of E10 is a commercial decision and it may be possible that in certain areas E10 will replace premium E5 grade petrol (petrol which contains no more than 5% ethanol).

The government is proposing to extend the current legal requirement for a 바카라 사이트榩rotection바카라 사이트� grade - for engines that are not compatible with E10 petrol - for a further 3 years, to the end of 2016. This will mitigate the risk of limited availability of an E5 grade fuel while there are still a significant number of non-compatible vehicles in circulation.
