Latest position from the GOV.UK website on the introduction of E10 fuel:

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/introducing-e10-petrol/outcome/introducing-e10-petrol-outcome-and-summary-of-responses

Government decision on E10 petrol

In line with the feedback received to this consultation, we can confirm that we'll introduce legislation as soon as possible to require fuel suppliers and retailers to introduce E10 petrol in the standard 95-octane petrol grade by 1 September 2021. We'll also require the higher-octane 'Super' grade to remain E5 to provide protection for owners of older vehicles.

Subject to parliamentary approval, the introduction of E10 at forecourts will occur during summer 2021 supported by a comprehensive communications campaign.

The initial legislation will apply to Great Britain only. In line with our obligations under the Northern Ireland Protocol, we'll also notify the European Commission of our intention to legislate for the introduction of E10 in Northern Ireland to ensure regulations are in place before the September 2021 change in petrol grade.


Looks like I'll be moving to premium fuel to stay away from the possible risks with using E10 in my FB's!

RX-8's ought to be OK with E10:

So ethanol has less calorific value than petrol so you will get less mpg too. Less for more win for the Gov lol.
I use super in all my cars have done for years more bang for your buck.
