E10 petrol, consumer protection and fuel pump labelling

Unleaded petrol in the UK contains up to 5% bioethanol, a grade known as E5. E10 petrol contains up to 10% bioethanol and is not yet available in the UK.

This consultation seeks feedback on:

• proposals to ensure a continued supply of traditional E5 petrol for those motorists who will need it
• a call for evidence on whether and how best to introduce E10 petrol
• proposals to implement new fuel labelling as required by the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive
• plans to change the consumer message that must accompany the sale of E10
