E10 Petrol
E10 is petrol containing up to 10 percent ethanol.
What is E10 Petrol?
It is widely sold in Europe. Most modern petrol cars are compatible. E5 contains up to 5 percent ethanol. The UK introduced E10 as its standard petrol in 2021, while it has been sold in countries such as France and Germany for longer. Manufacturers and fuel associations publish lists of compatible models. Using E10 in a compatible car once by mistake is not a problem, but owners of classic cars should check before filling up.
How it works
Ethanol is blended to reduce fossil carbon.
Why it matters for your car
Check compatibility for older cars. Consumption may rise slightly.
