About unleaded

E10 is the standard unleaded petrol at UK pumps. It contains up to 10% renewable ethanol and became the standard petrol in Great Britain in September 2021 and in Northern Ireland on 1 November 2022.

The government says all new cars made since 2011 can use E10, and that around 95% of petrol vehicles on the road are compatible. It can slightly reduce fuel economy, by around 1% on the government's estimate.

If your car can't use E10, super unleaded (E5) remains on sale at filling stations that sell two grades of petrol.
