CARR’S GARAGE
E10 petrol
From the 1st of September, the Department for Transport has mandated that E10 petrol will be the standard 95-octane petrol at garage forecourts. This is now the grade available at our petrol pumps.
E10 petrol contains 10% ethanol - a plant-derived alcohol. Previously all petrol contained 5% ethanol (E5). Diesel fuel has not changed.
97-octane petrol will still be available with only 5% ethanol, but we are unable to offer this grade at the moment.
The Government's advice on E10 petrol can be found below, including a page for checking if your car can use E10 petrol:
