UK goes ahead with E10 rollout for September

February 25, 2021 |

In the UK, following a public consultation that received 208 responses, the Government has announced that having analyzed the responses, it remains convinced that the preferred approach outlined in the original consultation document remains the best approach to introducing E10 in the UK: it plans to introduce E10 as the standard 95-octane petrol grade available UK-wide beginning in September.

The government will also ensure E5 will remain available at all filling stations that supply at least 2 grades of petrol as the higher-octane ‘Super’ grade. This ensures both a wide roll-out of E10 as the standard petrol grade and UK-wide provision of lower-ethanol E5 fuel, which will still be required for some vehicles and equipment.
